Dear Parents,

State and local authorities are closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and on Nantucket, and have introduced mandatory quarantines, social distancing and other safety measures to prevent the spread of the disease. Please also note that the Club’s plans will also be subject to change based on evolving guidance and changes in federal, state and/or local mandates or guidance.
