“If you're reading this...
Congratulations, you're alive.
If that's not something to smile about,
then I don't know what is.”

―  Chad Sugg,  Monsters Under Your Head
Week after week we find new resources and learn innovative ways to drive business, while friends and family are asked to stay SAFER AT HOME.
Day after day we learn about new business activities and celebrate doors re-opening, flourishing online sales, and new drive-ups and curb-sides popping up around town.

We also hear of the challenges businesses are facing and understand some are choosing to close their doors for the last time. There are good days and there are bad days. Some days are sunny. Some days have rain. All this to remind us that the calendar keeps turning a page and we keep moving forward, together. So what do we know...

Wisconsin will re-open. We will get BACK TO BUSINESS.

How and when still remain an unanswered question. However we do feel those answers will be coming soon. We will do our best to bring you the latest updates and keep everyone informed.

Continue to reach out to friends, family, co-workers and remind them that you care. Write a letter. Plant a flower. Remember, it's what we do for others that will narrate our own stories.

Keep smiling, keep sanitizing and stay well!
