Community Club Update
After the decreasing COVID-19 cases in early summer this year, the SFX CC Board contemplated partially opening up the club again once the situation stabilized. Unfortunately the Province has witnessed a recent spike in virus cases and stricter regulations are most likely to follow. As such, the SFX CC Board has made the decision to keep the club closed and will re-evaluate the situation at the end of September 2020.
While we understand the importance of the club providing a space for social activities and gatherings, these events are non essential and we do not want to underestimate the importance of compliance and the steps we will all be required to take for the safety of our members. We need to do our part to reduce the spread of the virus, look after the health of our community and therefore hopefully contribute to a less painful second wave as well as a quick recovery afterwards.
We have also closely evaluated the potential burden a reopening of the club would cause with regards to the following, but not limited to additional cleaning, disinfecting, liability and monitoring of the occupancy of the club. For now we feel that the risks, costs and volunteer time associated with this, outweighs the gained value.
The SFX CC Board continues to have virtual meetings on a regular basis to assess the situation. We still plan to have our in person Annual General Meeting towards the end of September following social distancing protocols (stay tuned for more information) and we are looking forward to the time, where we can at least partially reopen the club and resume with some of the well known SFX CC events and activities. We encourage citizens of the RM, as “partial owners” of the club to provide us with feedback and suggestions. Your support, effort and contributions are appreciated as we collectively work together in a safe reopening our community club.

Message from the Board
Dear St. Francois Xavier Community,
The SFX Community Club Board would like to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to those that have volunteered and donated their time, energy, and resources to support our community at various events over the years. Keeping our community club doors open would not be possible without all this support and help.
We would also like to share how grateful we are for the many former board members who prudently had the foresight to plan for and create a small savings for the club. Because of this, the club has remained financially stable during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic where the doors to the club were shut to keep the community safe.
Fun fact: St. Francois Xavier is one of the smallest municipalities in the province (if not THE smallest). Something that you may not be aware of is that our community club and grounds are owned by all the residents of St. Francois Xavier. Everyone who pays taxes in our RM is part owner of our little blue club!
Our Community Club Board currently consists of 9 volunteers with the responsibility of overseeing day to day operations, programs, rentals, and events held in our community. Collectively our goal is to make a meaningful contribution! What we all have in common is the desire to make a positive impact in the community that we have chosen to live and raise our families in.
Just like all of you, our Board members have many commitments: full-time jobs, family and friends, and volunteering time for other local sports and committees. To continue to provide local events and programs, we need additional support and the willingness to help from volunteers like you. Every hour contributed is an investment that goes into building a stronger community and helps keep the lights on in our club.
We are not sure what the year ahead looks like as we continue to navigate the pandemic. We are looking to open the club again starting September 1st, 2020 with careful planning around safe distancing and sanitary measures.
One of our upcoming events will be an AGM hosted toward the end of September. We are planning to have in-person distancing options as well as online participation. We hope many of you can plan to participate. More information regarding the AGM will be distributed early September.
We will be looking to fill a few additional Board Member positions this year. Our constitution mandates that we have 8-10 members. We will need 1-3 new members to join for this upcoming year. In addition to general members, the Secretary position is open and needs to be filled as soon as possible. Please spread the word widely!
If you have any questions or would like to discuss joining the board please call 204-864-2182 or email us at sfxcclub@gmail.com.
Yours sincerely,
The SFX Community Club Board
