We are all in this together.
Not in the past 100 years has this community experienced such challenging times as brought about by Covid-19. As 2020 comes to an end, we have much to lament as many of our friends and neighbors have succumbed to this relentless virus. Some of our businesses have shut their doors while others continue to hold on, hopeful a new year will bring relief.
Although health officials warn that the worst is yet to come in the coming months, we look forward to returning to some form of normalcy in 2021, much like other generations before us accomplished when vaccines brought an end to other debilitating diseases.
