A NEW LOOK 2021
With 2021 already started and Covid running Its course, there is a ton of things we have missed bringing you into the New Year... We have given the club a whole new look, don't miss out, come to the Soft Re Opening on June 18th... you won't be disappointed.
We thought is was best to share our answer to a member about their question on precautions at the club as it related to Covid as of January 2022.
Their question was what precautions are we taking at the club as it relates to Covid..
On top of our ALREADY extremely high standards on cleaning like have Hospital Grade Electrostatic Machines, UV Sanitation equipment, Ionizers to clean the air and added upgrades to our ventilation equipment to our over all HVAC system to improve airflow as well as help keep the air healthy. We are now following the new county Mask Mandate that wend into effect the lat week in December,

Tabu we take your health, safety and well being very seriously.
Did you know Tabu uses Hospital Grade Electrostatic machines throughout the entire club both Upstairs and in Vicki's VIP Lounge. Along with an already highstandards of making sure the VIP Lounge rooms are clean before your use, the machines are used again inbetween members use. All touch surfaces are cleaned and sanitized nightly. We also use UV Light Sanitizers each night in the club as well as special Ionizer machines.
We have both in person application for membership or may be done fully on line. Plus we have all Mobile pay options as well as taking Visa, Master Card and American Express.
We have reduced our offerings on the snack foods availalbe to be more individually safe. The Crab dip is currently available but is subject to change based on the Health Departments inputs and suggestions to us.
Changes may happen as the direction and guiandance from the local Health Department is reacting to the conditions as needed to protect us all. This is an ever changing time right now and we will continue to strive to provide a safe, fun and welcoming environment for everyone here at Tabu.
Please get vaccinated if you can and help us all work towards getting back to a more normal way of life again. WE Do Ask that if you are not vaccinated that you please wear a mask.

**Events have suspended at Tabu until October 11th for your health and safety.**
Just like Phase 1 and Phase 2 had different steps so does PHASE 3.
Currently in PHASE 3 they have just added business like Indoor Movie theaters to open.
They HAVE NOT GRANTED NIGHTCLUBS permission to open at this time. (We are still REQUIRED to be CLOSED)
No events as an example with DANCING, DJ's playing and patrons mixing and mingling are all not permitted as part of the current PHASE 3 Guidelines.
Please understand we do know some clubs have elected to defy the State Orders and have opened. We will not put the members or our staff in jeopardy during this pandemic. We have prided ourselves in always operating legally and will not change that now. Please join the NEWSLETTER if you do not already receive it for updates and announcements for when we can legally open again. Bars and Social Clubs or other business of this nature are opened but required the guest to be seating or masked when not at a socially distant table.

SPECIAL Announcement:
Phase 2 on openings in Maryland are still in place. This leaves us still unable to be open legally. We encourage you to know what is legally required for any club , event , private party or gathering to be open. Each State, county and boroughs may be different where you are. Knowledge is power.
This is an extremely important massage for you all to please read.
This message is for all our members, staff and friends.
We have the August events all listed as suspended but are waiting for SLS to update it on the back end.
We want to make sure you all understand that ALL CLUBS, Bars (operating as a bar without serving sit down meals) and Nightclubs are legally required to follow the guidelines of the Governor s office as an executive order.

We have the August events all listed as suspended as of this time. Tabu Events
We want to make sure you all understand that ALL CLUBS, Bars (operating as a bar without serving sit down meals) and Nightclubs are legally required to follow the guidelines of the Governor’s office as an executive order. That order still requires us to be closed.
They have still not entered Phase 3 of the Re Opening Plan and have PAUSED the Re Opening plan while we are still in phase 2. They made it abundantly clear that NO County is permitted to override this order. Regardless of what other business may do or say. If they are open in the state, they are in violation of these orders as are potentially anyone in attendance.
In the state of Maryland, it is not legal for any lifestyle club to be open. Please know we will not hold events until it is fully legal to do so. We feel the health and safety of the members, staff and ourselves is far too important. Putting you in jeopardy it not something we are willing to do.
Please be safe, encourage all your friends and family to wear a mask, follow good hand cleaning hygiene and maintain 6 ft socially distant. Doing these items will help us all get to a better place where the club is able to re-open again legally.

People keep emailing me asking if we are open, or when we will be opening. I do understand people want a return to normalcy. Believe me, so do we, but here is some food for thought as of today July 24th, 2020.
Right now you can not legally do things like:
Go to a movie.
Eat inside a restaurant like you used to, without a care in the world.
Go to a sporting event.

So I really do not know the best way to respond to the email question I got today randomly at 11 am on Monday morning.
"Hi. How u making out. Do u think tabu will reopen this year. Any thoughts."
I actually find myself somewhat infuriated at the question. I suspect they may be possible offended at my response I sent back to them.
This is not my response but my thoughts before I sent it instead.
First as a business owner in a situation like this I am left (along with my business partner) to carry all of the required expenses to maintain our legal obligations for the location on our own without any supporting revenue. I too on top of that have also loss my personal income as well. Yes I have applied for every grant, SBA loan and assistance loan we are permitted to and are now sitting and waiting. Some of these grants and loans were applied for coming up on a month without any answers of approved or denied. I am now getting unemployment which I am extremely thankful for. Unemployment income is to help cover personally immediate needs and in no way would put even a small dent into the business obligations I have. I am not sure some people actually understand the gravity of that. Yes I did have some personal money set aside to cover some of this. But in all honesty, my husband has been a saving grace to provide me needed capital in the short term to help fa-fill the obligations.
Rent for a locations, required insurance for the locations, basic minimal utilities, required legal licensees , regular pest control services, maintenance requirements and the list goes on........ Add to that the constant worry for the employees that have also lost their revenue. Our worry is immense.
We have tried with the help and support of the DJ's to do weekly offerings to listen with them and have pleaded for members to donate with every single dime going directly tot he Staff and DJ's each week. With some amazing members they have gotten a little extra money each week. I know people are in the same situation as we are. But in all honesty it has been a consistent few that have supported that. With over 34,000 members I would have hoped they may have been more compassionate for the employees to even make a small $5 donation is helpful.
So I pondered the questions. The answer is I do not know. What I would I like to say is "things will be open by said date".....or that "things will get back to normal by this said time". Really, anything I say at this moment is purely a shot in the dark, blindfolded with out the use my arms or legs. REALLY I have no answer to that.
I don't want to alarm people but you do need to know, this is going to change many things. Things we have not even thought of or considered at this one moment in time.
So we ask, if you can help us support the Staff and DJ's. PLEASE DO so over and over again... not one dime of this comes to us. It is ALL going to the staff and DJ's directly.
We ask that if when the club is able to open, you support us every single night you can. We have a lot to recover to just hope we can come out whole in the other end with out detrimentally permanent damage to us personally. If you do want to Donate you can always do so at : Donate Tabu Staff Here"
I hope the message causes you to take pause for a moment. It should, you do need to know and understand the actual impact on the business owners. It is not just us. There are many other business owners that are dealing with these same challenges every single day. Many like myself have literally put their entire life-saving into these ventures to provide a place for you. Your support will be needed. I have been blessed to do something I love, the people I have meet along the way have been the lifeline that has continued to breath life into me every step of the way. I just hope moving forward this is the same.
Thank you for reading my long winded thought process. I love you all. Please be safe, PLEASE practice social distancing guidelines and keep your loved ones safe with you at home. xoxo Vicki
HERE Is my actual reply to him and his response back is mind blowing!!!
My Reply to his email: What ever happens our members and employees health and safety concerns will be our first priority.
I have no idea how else to ask a question like that. Question for you, what is going through your mind to ask that question at 11 am on a Monday? That is kind of a mind boggling question out of the blue.
The local authorities we do feel are doing what is needed to protect the people.
Sincerely

First and foremost, we want you to know that you, our members and employees, health and wellbeing are EXTREMELY important to us. All decisions we make about closing any events that will be our first consideration.
As you know last Friday, we made the decision to postpone the events at Tabu scheduled March 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st. In all likely hood this is just the beginning of events that will be Postponed. We will be doing a 2 week rolling outage so I will be postponing the March 27th and 28th events officially later today. Tabu Events
We are now under a MANDATED Executive Order to be closed. Maryland COVID-19 Response We will follow the direction of the local and national authorities. Gatherings of 10 or more should be canceled. There is no grey area in this. This includes house and hotel events as well. Anyone that insist on holding events currently is not looking out for your wellbeing.
Personally, let me express to you that I (Vicki) find it extremely selfish and morally irresponsible for any Club owner, Event Planner or Party Host in the lifestyle community to keep their events opened at this time. This is my opinion and if I offend you by stating it, so be it. I am concerned for the Community as a whole. Swingers, people in the lifestyle or opened relationships have a believe totally opposite of Social Distancing. It's against almost everything we stand for. So holding an event and thinking for one second that we will follow the guidelines is ludicrous. The lack of concern for the guest astounds me. Do they not know that the guest may be parents, have older family members they may be in contact with or have a job that mandates they be in contact with other human beings and are putting their health and safety as risk? FOR WHAT? Money?? REALLY??? Do they not know that holding the events is putting those other people in jeopardy of getting ill and possible dying? Make no mistake, people are dying every single day. When this is all said and done, we will all know someone mortally impacted by this virus. Again, this is just my own personal views. If you do not agree you are totally within your right to do and feel so.
So, we do want to urge you to ALL take this seriously. If not for yourself then for the people you love and care for. This is unlike anything we have seen in our lifetimes. It will be lifechanging for us all. Not just in this moment in time either. It is changing the world as a whole as we speak moment by moment.

So this blog is going to be a little bit different then just posting information about the club.
As one of the owners of TABU I have always been huge supporters of Safe Sex Practices. So what does that really mean, anyway?
To me Safe Sex Practice involves many different aspects for an individual.
Knowledge, Testing, Prevention and Personal Safeguards.
Knowledge am not talking about the Sex Talk or even what we learned in Health Class as kids. Safe sexy is far more than using birth control to prevent pregnancy. It's about knowing different types of sex, foreplay, or during play and what ways you can protect you and your partner or partners from being exposed to different STD, Virus or health risk. There really is not way to cover them all, but we can go over some basics. I am going to also provide some links as well for more knowledge sources. I am no expert by any means but I do spend an enormous amount of time, money and energy related to this topic.
