First, thank you to our staff and all who helped us have a safe re-opening this evening, our friends who greeted us promptly at opening & to those who are enjoying Karaoke right now! So grateful for you all!
It is so nice to be back on a regular schedule (let's hope the snow doesn't derail that).
Second, I wanted to remind everyone to be patient and go through these days with kindness. It has been so hard on so many but something happened tonight to make me feel a little better, so I wanted to share.
We had a question after hours this evening re: the water issues that we hadn't run across yet. I called our 5th District Council Member, Stephanie Lynch because of her and Amy Robbins highly communicative and helpful daily emails and updates to our district this week. Not only did she answer my call, but she had Dr. Perry from the Virginia Department of Health return my call within 5 mins! Shortly after that, a friend from the city called me to make sure my question had been answered. We all felt so much better having their confirmation that we were doing everything right.
I trust our new mayor, Dr. Danny Avula will make progress everyday for betterment with the team I interacted with tonight. May he have many more like these folks on his team, current and incoming, just as caring, kind, smart, hardworking, willing to fight for us and wanting the best for our city. Thank you all! Stay strong RVA!
