The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens today announced its second phase of
reopening, which restores community access to the Museum’s indoor galleries and
exhibitions in a limited capacity, will begin on Tuesday, July 21, 2020.
This announcement follows the safe and successful first phase of reopening that
began on June 20 with the historic riverfront gardens, light bites and beverage
service through the Cummer Café and two pop-up locations of the Museum Shop.
The Museum will continue to limit daily capacity across the campus for the
foreseeable future.
“Since the Museum closed to the public in March, we have been diligently
working toward the day when we could safely welcome the community back to our
galleries to find comfort, inspiration and respite during this challenging
time,” said Interim Director and Chief Advancement Officer, Kerrie
Slattery. “We are grateful to be able to open our doors so that everyone can
once again experience art, culture and connection, in a safe and socially
distanced setting.”
To celebrate the reopening of the galleries and honor Northeast Florida’s
military community, VyStar Credit Union will sponsor free admission for active
duty service members and their families on July 25 (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and July
26 (12 to 4 p.m.).
"VyStar Credit Union has a deep appreciation for our military, and we
are proud to partner with the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens to sponsor
free admission for service members and their families," said Brian
Wolfburg, President/CEO of VyStar Credit Union. "We hope this provides
a meaningful experience that celebrates the rich art and culture found in our
community."
Members and guests are required to reserve a timed ticket in advance of their
visit at cummermuseum.org/admission. Tickets are available in two-hour time
increments, with dates and times for the upcoming week updated every Monday.
The Museum has implemented many safety and sanitation measures, including hand
sanitizer stations throughout the campus, plexiglass guards for the front desk
area and expanded daily cleaning and sanitation policies for all common areas
and surfaces according to the Centers for Disease Control and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration guidelines. All galleries now feature routes
to direct the flow of movement and support social distancing. Transitioning to
a timed ticket model provides additional time for cleaning and disinfecting
throughout the campus, including high-touch surfaces. Museum staff, members and
guests are required to wear masks.
The Cummer Café will fully reopen on August 1. Art Connections, the Museum’s
interactive education center, will remain temporarily closed for remodeling.

Their service now helps businesses get ready for reopening due to the influx of
COVID-19. Turner Pest Control has added
a new offering over the past month, TurnerClean Disinfection Misting Service:
an indoor treatment that disinfects homes and businesses by killing bacteria
and pathogens within seconds, including those linked to COVID-19. This service is a natural extension of the
company’s pest control services that eliminate and prevent pests of all kinds
and ensures sanitation.
The TurnerClean solution uses Nisus DSV, a cleaning agent known to be effective
against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. The service offers a broad-spectrum
disinfection misting as well as a hard surface wipe down that provides powerful
virus protection and allows technicians to quickly disinfect large areas,
including surfaces and inaccessible areas. The process can help businesses ensure a safe
environment for employees and customers as the state’s economy begins to reopen
in the coming weeks
As part of the company’s community outreach and commitment to giving back to
first responders, Turner Pest Control will provide the Jacksonville Sheriff's
Office with complimentary cleanings for any police cars and the homes of any
officers who have contracted COVID-19. Additionally, Turner Pest Control will perform
a weekly sanitation treatment at JSO’s fitness facilities and donate cleaning
products to maintain sanitation between services.
“Keeping the public safe as we reopen is of utmost importance,” said
Bill Talon, President of Turner Pest Control. “For us, to be able to offer this service to
our local community is a wonderful way to provide business owners and
residential property owners peace of mind during this uncertain time.”
“We are grateful for this generous donation from Turner Pest Control. Their
support for our officers and administrative team helps our team members keep
their full focus on serving this community,” said Officer Derrick Lewis
with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The service is available for a wide-range of commercial business settings,
including (but not limited to) educational institutions, property management,
manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, health care facilities, hospitality,
restaurants and recreation. Trained TurnerClean
technicians apply the disinfectant to walls, floors, structures and equipment. The service is available as both a one-time
treatment and a recurring service, which is recommended.
To inquire about the service and get a customized quote for your business or
home, contract Turner Pest Control at (904) 355-5300 or visit turnerpest.com/commercial/turnerclean-service/ today.

"To Our Valued Guest:
We understand the growing concern surrounding Coronavirus (COVID-19) across our
communities, and our hearts go out to all those who've been impacted. The health and safety of our guests, as well
as team members, remains a top priority at Grumpy’s
Restaurant. As this situation
evolves and we move toward opening our dining rooms, we want to assure you that
we are taking significant precautionary measures and adhering to
recommendations from public health officials, as well as continuing to maintain
our high standards of cleanliness and sanitation.
Along with our multifunctional task force that includes key leaders across the
organization who meet daily to ensure we continue to address all facets of this
developing situation. We are also
actively working with our safety experts, vendors and suppliers to ensure that
we can continue to offer you the best breakfast, lunch and brunch offerings.
In addition to reinforcing good hygiene practices recommended by the CDC with
our team members, we have also adopted the CDC recommendation for a detailed
heath screening and temperature check prior to each employee shift. In addition, all back of house employees are
required to wear face coverings at all times. We have also added six hand sanitizer stations
in our restaurant for both employees and guest. We increased the frequency of our already
stringent cleaning and sanitation procedures in every department of the
organization. For example, bathroom
cleaning and sanitation has been increased from every hour to every 30 minutes
of operational hours. We have closed our
in-restaurant waiting area and created a new outside waiting area. We have also increased the frequency of
cleanings, and are providing supplemental supplies to our team members.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to modify our
processes to maintain the highest levels of cleanliness and sanitation in our
restaurant.
We look forward to exceeding your expectations and continuing to deliver an
unsurpassed dining experience in a warm, welcoming and safe environment.
Sincerely,
