DOING YOUR PART – Protecting our Community
As our community continues re-opening in a prudent manner, it is more important than ever to continue with the remarkable job we have been doing to keep our trends moving in the right direction. This success is largely the result of everyone’s vigilance in practicing positive behaviors of appropriate physical distancing, wearing a mask in public, and following good hygiene (like routine hand washing).
To stay on this current path of re-opening, it is critical that we all do our part to keep our community safe, our economy open, and our outlook bright. We can do this together, by each of us being an ambassador for our community through our good behaviors and interactions with others.
