It's Summertime!

Volume 59 | July 14th, 2020

Its Summertime!

With the country going into Phase 2, small outdoor gatherings are now permitted. However it is important to remember that while we all are craving for social interaction, the virus is still out there and the only way we can defeat it is to continue to exercise caution by washing our hands multiple times, wearing a mask and maintaining 6 ft distancing as appropriate. It is tedious, but we're almost nearing the end. It's time to give ourselves a big round of applause.
