Last month as we were finalizing copy for this newsletter all was wonderful. We were feeling like 2020 was getting off to such a great start as our committees and staff focused on strategic planning, event planning, new match meetings, and new programs starting. Then what felt like overnight, our focus shifted from keeping up with our momentum to redirecting our attention to safety after the announcement of the COVID-19 virus concerns. The safety of our ‘it takes 5 to keep a match alive’ team members became our first priority. Our Parents. Our Littles. Our Bigs. Our Staff. Our Donors.
For more than 35 years, our agency has always kept safety at the forefront of all decisions and today more than ever, we will continue to focus on safety for our ‘it takes 5’ team.
