The Voice of Business In Action
|
|
|
|
|
In light of the recent wildfires and evacuations, many of our local businesses had to close their doors temporarily. Now that we are all safely back home, it's time to rally together and support our local business community. These businesses are the backbone of our town, and they need our help to recover and thrive. Let's show our appreciation by shopping locally and helping our neighbors get back on their feet. Â We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to those businesses that remained open to support those who stayed behind, as well as to the first responders who worked tirelessly to keep us safe. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful. |
