Village Voice: June 2020
The world is in a really weird space in history and when you think about the major ‘corrections’ that have taken place in history, the current pandemic has possibly impacted more people in a much shorter time frame.
Village Voice: May 2020
The initial shock and fear associated with the emergence of COVID-19 appears to be giving way to boredom, frustration and for some, loneliness and helplessness. I hear and share your disappointment that we cannot do all of the things we enjoy and like to do and our Staff are feeling the same way.
