RIYC Closed Until Further Notice
We found out only because a conscientious resident posted the emailed notice from Manager Ana Medina on Facebook.
Since school kids are a hotbed for COVID transmissions recently, the closing comes as no major surprise. But RIOC’s failure at spreading the word is again an issue of too much public secrecy.
