Happy New Year 2021

2020 - It certainly was a year for the history books! We discovered a new vocabulary of words and phrases that now define 2020 in our hearts and minds. It started with COVID-19 and led to six feet apart, mask wearing and being socially distanced to flatten the curve. We had a lockdown, we learned about community spread, essential businesses, workers and heroes. We all participated in Zoom, GoToMeeting and Teams meetings. Many people worked from home, in some cases there was quarantining required with contact tracing and that we might be asymptomatic. Remote learning became part of school. We participated in birthday and celebration parades and also discovered that it was challenging to buy hand sanitizer and toilet paper. We needed to be innovative and brave in the face of an unprecedented time in our lives and history. We learned the name George Floyd.

 

2021 begins a new year with hope for the future including a vaccine for those who want it. We will build on the lessons learned from 2020, emphasizing equity for all people and care for one another, all the while remembering that we are all in this together. #LIVEUNITED
