Community Re-Engaged
We are not finished with this pandemic, or maybe I should say that the pandemic is not yet finished with us, but it sure feels as if most of us have moved on. Maybe it’s the amount of time that has passed since Covid-19 overwhelmed us, maybe it’s the pace of the vaccine rollout, or that nagging sense that masks and virtual meetings are now our new way of life. Whatever it is, we’ll never quite be the same, but we’re adjusting.
One thing we have to reacquaint ourselves with is our sense of community. It’s not that we lost it, but it went underground over the past year and we’ve had far less of those events and opportunities where we can nurture our sense of community and civic pride. One recent event that did my heart good was the community clean-up that took place on March 27.
