Summer Program Registration

in regards to the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic and the social

program is cancelled, full refunds

We are interested in the community’s
views about participating
in programs, camps, and/or classes
this summer. Although it’s in our
mission to encourage recreation and
exercise, we value the public’s opinion
and hoping to gain some insight
as to what the mountain community
feels as COVID-19 (coronavirus)

Rebuilding Together
Carries On
During these times of uncertainty
and anxiety, we turn to our
friends, family, and our mountain
communities to make some sense
of a bad situation. We all need a
little help sometimes. Rebuilding
Together believes a little help goes
a long way to provide security and
serenity.
That is why we have kept the
Emergency Repair Program going
during this pandemic. People still
need to be kept warm, safe and dry.
In spite of the cancellation of
Rebuilding Day, we are continuing
our commitment to the 2020 recipients
by doing the trade element of
the work on each home. Due to
using paid contractor services in
place of our usual volunteers, we
have had to manage our resources
differently. We are moving forward
with our projects and plan to have
them completed before the end of
summer.
We all have missed the camaraderie
and excitement of the 2020
Rebuilding Day, but we look forward
to them in 2021.
A big THANK YOU to our contributors
and participants old and
new, large and small, corporations,
organizations and our neighbors.

“The COVID-19 virus is
still very present throughout our
county. With places of worship,
dine-in restaurants, stores, and
malls now suddenly open, it is more
important than ever that we practice
physical distancing, wear face
coverings in public, and frequently
wash our hands to protect ourselves
and those around us,” said Hagman.
Churches Reopen
Memorial Day ushered in
the important announcement reopening
of places of worship with
new state-specified guidelines. Under
the new state guidance, places
of worship can hold religious services,
including funerals, if attendance
is limited to 25 percent of
a building’s capacity, but no more
than 100 attendees.
“This is a great first step
for our residents of faith who have
refrained from gathering for more
than two months,” said Board of
Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman.
