Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Alotisgoingoninthe world. We all are experienc- ing situations that we have never had to deal with be- fore. We, as residents of Progress Village are not ex- empt to what is happening around us. We must remain diligent in doing what it takes to keep ourselves and our families safe and healthy.
Follow the guidelines given by our local, state and national leaders, such as staying home, washing your hands frequently, and prac- ticing social distancing.
In our community we have a large population of senior citizens. Please call and check on your neighbors
to make sure they are okay. Parents, this is a great time to reconnect with your children. Families, celebrate family time and what it means to be together, share fun and laughter in the midst of a storm. Use this time to explain and demonstrate what it means to have faith, be prayerful, to believe and
trust.
