Today’s message will be short since there is no real changes to what we know. The Governor held a press conference today and what we got were a lot of mixed signals about what and when the next steps will be happening. She said there will probably be a short extension of the stay home order but there may be some relaxation of the rules. I have heard she is looking at Friday for her next announcement. Our media campaign is still going very well with media contacts around the state. Here are a few of them.

Please continue to get our message out on social media by sharing any posts that help our cause. On our weekly MDARD call today there was no signal about when we could expect to be allowed to re-open and I asked for them to give us a few days notice, if possible, to get staff trained and have stores ready to go. I will try to get more info and will share as soon as I can.
Stay safe
Goeff
