Please Be Patient and Kind to Community Volunteers

We know it can be disappointing when popular Community Events do not happen or when they are modified, but we ask everyone to be patient and kind towards our Community Groups and Volunteers who are doing their best to resume and/or maintain activities amid ongoing unpredictable circumstances. Sometimes Volunteer power is lacking; sometimes Certified Personnel such as Lifeguards are not available; some permit requirements are much more rigorous than they were before; and the Covid-19 pandemic continues to present risks that must be weighed carefully when planning events. Our Community Groups and Volunteers appreciate your support and we hope that you will join us in cheering them on even when things aren’t happening quite the way they used to.
