Since the whole world became that town from Footloose on March 14th, I have looked forward to this announcement.

This weekend the bar at the Clubhouse will reopen!

In order to open, we had to get special permits and these permits, while liberating because they allow us to finally serve drinks outside, place some new restrictions on our operations; we have a few new rules by which we must abide by.

Although the patio will be open and serving drinks, the Clubhouse will have a limit of three people allowed in at a time. The sole reason people will be allowed in is to use the bathroom.
Because the patio is now considered our dining area, we cannot have anyone smoking out there during operating hours and we have to, temporarily, forgo having fires.
No underage people can be on the patio while drinks are being served.
The steps up to the patio will be the only entrance and exit. Please do not attempt to walk through the Clubhouse.
As always, only members and guests that live outside the bounds of Telemark are able to utilize the Club Bar. This is because our Liquor License is a Club License and these are the laws.

Before I mentioned that this is actually liberating, even with these restrictions, because we have not been able to get the permit to seasonally serve drinks on the patio ever before. We have been able to get daily permits, but this permit allows us to do this ALL SUMMER!

I would like to open the Patio Bar three times each weekend and I am looking for bartenders to help with this. The tentative bar schedule will be: Friday- 7 pm-12 am, Saturday- 11 am- 3 pm, and Saturday 7 pm- 12 am. Of course, this is dependent on volunteer availability so really just look out for the flag.

If you would like to bartend, please email club@laketelemark.org or come see me at the bar on Saturday from 11-3. Your community needs you to sling booze.

I look forward to seeing you all there,

Patrick Cooper, Men’s Club President
