Greetings!
There are two (2) new COVID-19 cases to report today, bringing our total to two thousand, four hundred and thirty-three (2433) confirmed cases since the pandemic began. Since Saturday, September 19, an additional eleven (11) persons have been quarantined. There are no new deaths to report today. The total number of fatalities stands at one hundred and thirteen (113).

The spread of the virus in our city has slowed down significantly, and I believe it is due to your cooperation in following the recommended guidelines. I want to thank all Plainfield residents for their efforts. Our community is safer and healthier because of you.  

This newsletter shares many upcoming, virtual events for Plainfield residents including live broadcasts, events for your children, and online workshops. We will continue to apprise you of events taking place locally and elsewhere. We may not be able to attend meetings and events in person, but thanks to technology – we can participate virtually.

Desde el sábado 19 de septiembre, once (11) personas más han sido puestas en cuarentena. No hay nuevas muertes que informar hoy. El número total de fallecimientos es de ciento trece (113).

La propagación del virus en nuestra ciudad se ha ralentizado significativamente, y creo que se debe a su cooperación para seguir las pautas recomendadas. Quiero agradecer a todos los residentes de Plainfield por sus esfuerzos; nuestra comunidad es más segura y saludable gracias a usted.

Este boletín comparte muchos eventos virtuales futuros para residentes de Plainfield, incluyendo transmisiones en vivo, eventos para sus hijos y talleres en línea. Continuaremos informando sobre los eventos que tienen lugar localmente y en otros lugares.

The "Black Is" Tech Virtual Conference
The Black Is Tech Conference 2020 Is going Virtual!!! And its FREE for everyone!!! Yes you heard it right.

Due to COVID19, we were forced to cancel the live Black Is Tech Conference 2020 originally scheduled for April 17-18, 2020 in NYC. However, we knew we couldn't let the year run by without bringing something for our amazing audience of Black, Latin X and other minority tech professionals. That's why we decided to take the Conference online and even better, it's FREE for everyone.

The Black Is Tech Virtual Conference will be held on Sept. 24- 25, 2020 and will attract over 6000 black and minority tech professionals and entrepreneurs streaming our sessions, networking with one another, and connecting with recruiters, all from the comfort of their homes.
