We're socially distanced, but we're still connected. I cannot recall a time in my life where the world feels as distant and cold as it does now. I know many of us are living with a new sense of fear, uncertainty and doubt. I truly miss laughing with friends and touching their arms as I do so. But then again, I'm also seeing some wonderful moments of humanity. Neighbors offering to make Trader Joe's runs for each other. Reconnecting phone
calls and FaceTimes with friends and family across the country. Donations to causes that are so well-deserving. I have faith that out of this crisis, we will grow stronger, not just as a country, but as a neighborhood as well. With love and gratitude, Sue

Stay home. But stay curious, stay creative, stay positive, stay active, stay hopeful, stay helpful, stay kind.
Although things right now are uncertain, I believe in human kindness, our collective resolve and the fact that together we will get through this coming out stronger than we were before. When one door closes, another opens. With love and gratitude, Amy Rose Smith Village Associates
