Dave, gave kudos given the everything right now
Thane noted that other Co-ops are having trouble during these times as well. Tara mentioned that people are budgeted more, reducing eating out. Jean mentioned not having Webcart at Garden, William talked about we have a call to look at other options. Jean asked about classes going in person, are we requiring Mask in the class. Also are we requiring them in the store, shopped and saw customers not wearing mask. Discussion about mask. Thane suggested to push the topic to other night, or email. Tara thought that someone should spreadhead it and get input from health and local officials.
