Thank you to all of the first responders and essential workers for their courage, dedication and service.
Stay in touch Whether it’s via phone, text message, video chat or social media, there are many ways to connect with loved ones while you’re in quarantine. Use them. Besides, the pandemic is a good reason to reach out to old friends. During these stressful times, they’ll likely appreciate the distraction. If you’re working from home, make sure to schedule virtual meetings with your clients and co-workers. This will help create a sense of normalcy and keep up morale.
THANK YOU to all the essential workers everywhere and especially those on our Edenton team for keeping our residents and clients safe and cared for.
