President Message Greetings ADOMA and Friends of ADOMA,

Happy New Year, 2021 is here and hopefully off to a great start. As we look to close our month and year-end, let us reflect on the good that has happened during this crazy time. Okay…that is enough, because not much good happened in 2020. We all had many challenges with our professional and personal lives. Shutdowns in most of California has lasted way to long and I for one, just want to go out and get a hot meal at my favorite restaurant and would love to be able to go to the store and get some everyday essentials and cleaning supplies, without having the worry that the stores will have want I need. I do not think that is asking a lot. Life during Covid-19! Read more
