Yes, I jest, but more experts are coming out with indications this virus may be around for some time. Should I hold an event or meeting, require masks, use other safety precautions that impact your business? We will need to make these decisions for some time. There are also decisions organizations are now making to help those impacted in other ways by COVID-19.

Plan for the long term but be confident your business will adapt and thrive. I am confident we can move forward and see amazing progress. I am also grateful for our school administrators, hospital, non-profit organizations and so many others who are trying to support our community in this time.

Kim Jones Photography (one of our great members) is seeking a showcase window. Participating business would let her display some photos for advertisement. Way back in the day, a photographer here in town would put a 16x20 of a senior and maybe a family or a baby in their window. It was fun for the families as well as traffic for the business. If you are interested, contact Kim Jones at kimjonesphotography@gmail.com.
