Welcome to our April & May 2021 Newsletter! 

Happy Spring everyone!!  Easter is here, and soon there will be other occasions to celebrate! Actually, after the year we have had, I celebrate all the small things that make me happy and appreciate, like health, family, friends and that there is an end to this pandemic down the road.  Please keep vigilant and we will get through this horrible pandemic. Stay Safe!!
