Good luck, and Happy Friday!!

I-S Community Fitness & Aquatic Center

Closed is closed through April 3.

I realize that there are questions about memberships that you paid for, and I want to reassure you that we will be discussing this with the I-S Administration and School Board to make this as fair as possible for everyone.

We also are going to be look at halting all monthly withdrawals, if you have an “annual membership monthly withdrawal contract” so that those funds can be used for your family. As we work through these issues, I will report back to you about this right away.

We care about everyone of you and will do our best to be fair and honest with you.

Tim Welch-Director

Iola Old Car Show

At this time, there are no plans to cancel the 2020 Iola Car Show, scheduled for July 9-11. We are proceeding optimistically and based on the best information available at this time that the current matters will be resolved prior to the show. We are currently operating under our traditional policies, which enforce an April 1 deadline for space renewal, and allow for a refund up until June 1. If any significant changes are necessary related to our event, we expect to know well in advance and will communicate that information as promptly and effectively as possible.

Premier Community Bank

As we have continued to monitor the reports from The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) we have made the difficult but appropriate decision to close our office lobbies to the public effective Thursday, March 19, 2020.

We strive to offer convenient solutions and access to your money without human intervention. We also have in-person meetings available by appointment only so please call if needed.

Advanced Physical Therapy Associates

Advanced Physical Therapy Associates is open for their normal hours. They have enacted new policies per the guidance of our organization to screen new/current patients upon entry into the clinic, asking patients/caregivers that are ill or exhibiting possible signs of infection to reschedule their appointments or to call and cancel their appointments. In addition, they have also enacted policies on how to properly clean and disinfect their clinic above and beyond their current protocols to try to prevent further spread of the COVID-19 virus. Employees that leave the state or show signs of possible infection are also being asked to remain home on self-quarantine for 14 days.

Grayhill

We have very little outside traffic coming into Grayhill, but we no longer allow any non-essential visitors in the plant, including salespeople and family.

We are a 24-hour operation and have instituted two blackout periods per day where everyone is out of the plant for a half hour. By doing so, we have divided our group roughly in half and 1st shift will not come into contact with 2nd-3rd shift.

We have restricted face-to-face meetings and instead use GoToMeeting. It’s a bit odd having an online conversation with four other people, all within a tiny plant.

A couple of us are able to work from home and we will be alternating weeks at home. We are wiping down all community surfaces (fridge door, handles, knobs, bathrooms, etc.) twice per shift and are having associates wipe down their work areas as well.

Waupaca Chiropractic Center

During this time of community concern and upheaval in the midst of the Covid-19 virus, I would like to assure you that we will remain OPEN with our normal business hours to continue to provide our patients the necessary chiropractic care.
I understand the guidelines being recommended to minimize the potential spread of all viruses that are prevalent in our area. To this decree, I have taken measures to minimize the spread in our office and to maintain a clean environment for my team and our patients. The children’s area has been cleared of toys and our magazine selection has been minimized. Please use caution and discretion should you choose to view them.

Please only bring yourself for your appointment to minimize the number of people socially gathering in our reception area. Parents are still expected to accompany their minors, but please only bring in those children with appointments.

Please consider washing your hands as soon as you enter our building.
