My version of acknowledging what happened from 2019-2020 (the pandemic, tragic personal losses, and manny learning opportunities) is to express gratitude for all the hard work that went into helping others in the area we call home. I don’t think I can begin to name all the individuals, restaurants, merchants, and service clubs who quickly took action to ensure others didn’t fall through the cracks in the safety net. Not to mention the school bus drivers who, early on, made sure that our students received meals along with their schoolwork. Also a huge shoutout to our small county’s Health Department. They quickly came up with a plan and executed one heck of a campaign to get as many of us vaccinated as possible. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Please, when you visit the Long Beach Peninsula; go shopping, dine in our restaurants, see a movie at our theater and always enjoy our beaches. Your dollars will have a big impact on our families, businesses, and everything in between.
