hello FROM KRISTI
How
did March sneak in here? I can’t believe the season is starting to wind down. Well, OK, maybe it never got to the level we’re all used to, but it still seems like November was just yesterday. But then again, it also seems like it was a lifetime ago. So much has changed, and this season has certainly looked different, but it makes me really happy to see how resourceful we’ve been. It’s also been great to see new activities popping up. And you know me; I’m always looking to shake things up to avoid them becoming stale. Nothing like a pandemic to make you think outside the box! We’re all hungry for something to do, so I encourage you to take this opportunity to do some of the things you might not have the time for in a regular season. You might just find a new favorite place or pick up a new hobby! • We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi
