From Annus Horribilis* to 2021 and Beyond
We miss you. But with your help… we’ll still be here for you.
This has been a traumatic year. People have lost friends and family to Covid-19. Racial injustice continues to plague our nation. The losses of Congressman John Lewis and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg are deeply felt. Climate change manifests itself everywhere.
As of this writing we don’t know when we will reopen.
But we will reopen.
