Today's Tip

Have you visited with your neighbors this holiday season?

The holidays are a great excuse to say hello to neighbors, or exchange a plate of cookies. At the same time, you might discover a neighbor who needs a little extra help getting through the winter. Or you might strengthen a connection that could help you in an emergency. It's not just a "feel-good" thing. Research shows that community ties help towns and neighborhoods bounce back from any emergency. While the pandemic has changed things, connecting with neighbors, via proper COVID-19 protocols, is a great way to ensure a safer winter season for all. And you thought you were just baking cookies.
