Hello all - The minutes from the June 18 SWONA meeting have been added to the Meeting Minutes folder on the left hand side of the main page. Unfortunately, no one volunteered to run for any of the expired board positions so we will keep pushing on until someone else steps up. In the meantime, here is some recent news on masks and testing. Keep safe out there!
