We will  hear from our many community leaders and business owners' stories on how they are coping, providing tips and/or resources for all of us, which will hopefully bring some ‘hope’ and smiles’ back in these stressful times.


We thank each of you as always for your support and belief in what we do and our why. The mindset for all of us during this time, is extremely important, and what we are seeing on Facebook, with people singing from their balconies in Italy, to our incredible medical personnel, delivery drivers, our grocery store workers and so many more we count on, is inspiring and hopeful...seek out the good.  We continue to say, ‘Stay Encouraged’!
