Your MEMBER ONLY email on all things the Chamber worked on this week, and what you need to know to get the most out of your membership. Thank you for being a member.

July is here. 2020 is half over. I sure hope the second half is better than the first.
We all should be concerned about the direction these COVID-19 numbers are going. Yesterday's announcement of us moving back to Phase 2 should shake us awake. I know you have heard it but WEAR YOUR MASK. Tell others to wear them as well, enough ignoring it and being quite when others are not. Speak out. Respect each other. I found this article on the impact to the economy if we all wore masks interesting as it hits home the economic numbers, on top of just doing the right thing. |

We hope you have a wonderful 4th of July weekend. The fireworks may be canceled and we need to stay physically distanced at small gatherings in our celebrations, but maybe this can allow us to reflect on our country's history and future, on its 244th anniversary. There is so much we must think about and change, and there is much to celebrate. No matter how terrible the news seems right now, I believe better days are ahead if we all do our part, the most important thing being to VOTE.
Speaking of voting, the deadline to register to vote for the August 6th election is this Tuesday, July 7th. Make sure are registered and be ready to VOTE. Your social posts and statements, protests and marches, mean nothing compared to the change that can happen when you VOTE! |

Earlier this week, we heard of several businesses in many areas of service having to close to thoroughly clean their establishments after having employees or customers test postive. We also were watching the numbers, like all of you were, afraid this would happen. We are hearing from many that they cannot stay open at any type of limited capacity and make it. Going back on reopening may be too much for them to survive. These developments are not what anyone wanted. They show that we must double our efforts and all do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19. Wash your hands frequently. Wear a mask. Stay 6 feet away from others. Stay home whenever possible. Follow all the other rules that are out there. We are all in this together and this affects everyone. |
