Hi all,

It seems like a lot of sicknesses have been going around🤧🤒. Just a reminder that if you are feeling symptoms, we ask you to please attend the meeting virtually or wear a mask.

(Also taking this time to remind everyone about the all-ages FREE vaccine clinic at the West Branch Library, on Thursday, 1/22 at 3:30pm)

Best,

Zev

P.S. (I am not feeling 100% and will be attending virtually too :))
