People are in a hurry, we are frantic, and nervous, but for the right reasons. In years past, we’ve dealt with openings, closings, and we didn’t know if there was going to be another wave. We have reached the end of the epidemic, and we are getting back more and more to normal
rejoice.
The entire program will be revealed in mid-June.
