Hey all you cool cats and kittens! We’ve got another fun weekend ahead and whether you want to stay close to home or venture out into the community, we hope you do so safely and that you wear a mask when you can’t distance yourself from strangers. It doesn’t protect you but it might protect them and that’s protecting all of us.

Speaking of…do you have one minute to answer one question about your family’s activity level? We’re taking a poll of RCM readers to get a feel for how our community is currently experiencing the Safer at Home order. We’d appreciate your time.
