I am periodically updating my FB page with information.
We are a tightknit, strong community. We all need to do whatever we can to support our local businesses and restaurants. Order in if possible. Buy gift cards. If you are now working from home and can, continue using local services that you normally use such as housecleaners, babysitters, dog walkers. If you don’t need the services but can continue to pay them this could be the difference in their economic survival, so please consider doing what you can.
As always please reach out with any questions, ideas, thoughts.
Stay Healthy!
