End of April? May? June? Or through the summer? We just don't know. So for now, we find the best resources to support our businesses with the hope we all make it through to better times.
Any hints, suggestions or resources you've found and would be willing to share? Please let us know. We are all in this together. As suffragist Kate Shepard (1847-1934) said, "All that separates us, whether of race, class, creed, or sex, is inhuman, and must be overcome."
