Hope you are all doing well. Turns out our website is so old it was on a server from 2003. I’ve taken care of that issue and our website is now secure and safe again. My May newsletter was lost in the shuffle so you are going to see lots of new things in this June issue. I’d like to thank everyone for celebrating LYS Day 2021 this past April with us. It was a very happy and hopeful event. Amazingly May 22, 2021 marks one year since our re-opening after the shut down. How can a year go by so quickly and slowly at the same time? We will continue to require masks until June 15, 2021 for everyone. After that date we will be requiring masks on unvaccinated customers.
