Happy Holidays to each and every one of you! This year has been quite the adventure. We have had to adapt to many changes and new ways of doing things. Having In-person and Virtual Activities has kept us busy. We are able to reach a bigger audience of seniors with both types of programming. We are able to reach people who can come to the center and those who are homebound. This is exciting and has helped us reach more seniors in our community and the world. We have been blessed to serve those in need during this pandemic. As we look forward to 2021 we are hopeful that things will continue to change for the better. We know that our seniors are resilient and that they will continue to be served by us in whatever capacity we can. If you have not been to the Grover Museum – please go and check out our tree. You might even recognize a few familiar faces. May you and yours be blessed this holiday season. Know that you all hold a special place in my heart today and always!
We all understandably have COVID Fatigue and it’s easy to forget to remember! However, the upcoming weeks are critical. Let’s all renew our diligence to protect ourselves and one another by:
- Routinely wearing our face coverings
- Washing our hands and using hand sanitizer regularly
- Sanitizing high-touch surfaces frequently
- Practicing social distancing whenever we are outside our intimate family and friend bubbles
- Keeping groups small and socially distanced when we are together. Best wishes in 2021.
