KEEPING WELL TOGETHER
Just a little public service announcement – with all the colds, COVID, and sundry other bugs going around, IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS of any kind or have been significantly exposed to a viral illness, PLEASE take care not to share the germs. Consider the interests of others. Hand sanitizing is STILL a good thing. And if you have symptoms, we love and will miss you but stay home and get well. Let’s help each other stay healthy.
