COVID-19 and the OPYC

JULY 13TH ORDER CLUB CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

The OPYC has been working hard to stay up to date with the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On June 19th the San Mateo County Health Department entered phase 3 of the opening plan and began allowing clubs and bars to open, upon meeting the required safety protocols. The OPYC Board of Directors worked on our protocols and have now come up with an opening plan.

The OPYC will re-open on a limited basis on Friday June 26th. Members will have to strictly adhere to the established safety protocols and practice social distancing.

THIS IS A WIN FOR OPYC AND ITS MEMBERS, LETS MAKE SURE WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY AND KEEP OUR MEMBERS SAFE.
