Summertime is such a wonderful experience in Sweet Home, Alabama – ourbeautiful beaches and lakes, walking trails, and state parks are wonderfulplaces to visit. However, please be mindful as we venture out that the numberof coronavirus cases are still rising. It is better to stay 6-feet apart from non-family members, and please wear a mask! We owe our COVID-19 frontlineworkers a debt of gratitude for their service during these unprecedented days.

I know 2020 has not been the year we expected. However, I hope that as weenter the Fourth of July weekend, you and your friends and family will celebrateour country in fine fashion all while adhering to social distancing guidelines.

I hope this newsletter answers some of your questions, and please know thatmy staff and I are always happy to hear from you.

Enjoy your summer!
