Hello

We

tonight
for
an
honest
conversation
and
joined
by
a
few
of
our

in
our
business
community.
I'm

matt

ferrante
and
I'm
happy
to
be
joined
by
our
scott
pedowitz,
with
the
arlington

and
a

of
our
complete

jennifer

daniel
logan
owner
of
columbia,

laundry
and
christiana
campos,
who
owns
and

ser
restaurant
with
her
husband
javier.
A
Thank
you
each
for
being
here
tonight
really
appreciate
it.
So
before
we
get
into
a
great
conversation,
I
do
have
to
give
a
little
bit
of
a
covet
update
and
we
are
working
away
on
getting
our
vaccines
out.
That's
so
critical
for
our
businesses
as
we
recover,
and
we
are
now
scheduling
one
1c,
which
is
the
next
stage
of
our
categories
of
vaccinations.
A
On
april,
the
18th
we
will
move
fully
open
into
or
shortly
after
april,
18th
we'll
move
fully
open
into
phase
two,
which
means
any
adult
can
get
a
appointment
for
a
vaccination
that
doesn't
mean
you'll,
be
actually
getting
your
vaccine.
In
april,
but
you
would
be
able
to
get
an
appointment
and
so
we're
making
progress
and
more
and
more
of
us
are
going
to
restaurants
going
to
businesses
outside
of
our
homes
as
we
get
vaccinated,
while
we're
still
being
careful.
A
So
that's
enough
of
a
background
on
kovid
at
the
moment
and
let's
get
started
with
getting
to
know
each
of
you
first,
maybe
this
time
we'll
start
and
see
if
we
can
begin
with
you
jennifer
and
then
go
around
we'll
I'll.
Give
you
a
little
cue.
But
if
you
can
just
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself
and
your
business.
B
Okay,
well,
thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
jennifer
jones,
I'm
creative,
founder
of
cosmopolitan
plated
and
a
little
bit
about
me.
I
live
and
operate
a
business
out
of
arlington
in
the
arlington
area
in
pentagon,
city
area.
So
but
I
worked
throughout
the
dmv
and
now
I'm
generally
digital,
but
what
I
do
is
and
through
cosmopolitan
plated
in
a
nutshell,
I
work
to
build
and
strengthen
communities
within
companies
neighborhoods
as
outreach
for
organizations
through
group,
interactive
cooking
classes.
If
you
can
believe
it.
So
that's
me
in
a
nutshell,.
A
C
D
Yes,
hello,
thank
you
for
having
me,
as
you
mentioned,
I
own
sarah
restaurant,
with
my
husband,
javier
in
the
boston
area
of
arlington,
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
sare,
please
come
check
it
out,
but
we
have
been
in
operation
for
five
years.
We
serve
comfort
foods
from
spain
in
a
very
casual
neighborhood
environment
and
we
live
both
hogan
and
I
live
here
in
arlington
forest,
which
we
love
just
a
couple
blocks
away
from
our
restaurant.
So
thank
you
for
having
me.
A
E
I'm
scott
pedowitz,
I'm
the
government
affairs
director
of
the
arlington
chamber
of
commerce.
The
chamber
is
a
membership
organization
of
about
700
businesses
and
nonprofits.
We
are
dedicated
to
supporting
businesses
and
the
economic
environment
for
those
who
work
live
and
do
business
in
arlington
and
we
really
run
the
the
gamut
in
our
membership
from
very
small
solopreneurs.
All
the
way
up
to
some
of
the
largest
global
companies
that
operate
here
in
arlington
and
more
than
a
hundred
non-profit
members,
so
really
taking
care
of
the
entire
arlington
community.
A
A
E
Well,
so
I
think
when
we
talk
about
things
that
have
changed
as
of
the
middle
of
march
2020
and
our
90
at
that
point
four
year,
history,
sorry
96
your
history.
To
that
point,
we
had
never
done
a
virtual
event
or
webinar
everything
in
person
that
has
all
changed.
We
are
up
into
the
triple
digits
of
virtual
events,
ranging
from
committee
meetings
to
we
held
our
gala
virtually
to
our
arlington
chamber
of
volunteer
day
where
last
year,
when
everyone
said
oh,
you
know
you
won't
be
able
to
do
your
annual
volunteer
day.
E
We
said
no
arlington
wants
to
come
together
and
we
hosted
that
virtually
and
we'll
be
doing
it
again
next
week
and
matt.
Thank
you,
you'll
be
our
keynote
kickoff
speaker
we're
looking
forward
to
that,
but
I
think
another
challenge
and
a
change
is
recognizing
how
much
was
changing
so
quickly,
and
I
think
everyone
here
is
going
to
have
great
stories
about
that
and
where
we
could
be
the
resource.
E
A
Got
it
thanks?
Well,
it
strikes
me
daniel
that
your
whole
whole
business.
I
mean
all
three
of
you,
but
your
business
model
probably
had
to
shift
over
the
last
year
because
of
you
know
that
in
person,
handing
back
someone's
laundry
is
just
a
wholly
different
thing.
Can
you
tell
us
the
biggest
challenge
or
how
you've
had
to
shift
yep.
C
Absolutely
so
you
know,
as
you
would
imagine,
you
know,
foot
traffic,
you
know
pretty
much
fell
off
a
cliff.
You
know
march
april
may
last
year
here.
So
you
know
that
was
you
know,
probably
the
biggest
challenge
that
we
that
we
faced,
you
know
still
not
quite
back
up
to
the
the
levels
that
we
were
prior
to
covet,
but
you
know
we're
getting
there,
and
so
I
I
say
another
challenge.
You
know,
since
we
were
deemed
in
an
essential
business
and
allowed
to
stay
open
and
operate.
C
A
D
Yeah
definitely
so
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
there.
So
our
biggest
challenge,
definitely
when
march
13th
rolled
around
a
year
ago
was
it
was
heartbreaking
to
have
to
say
goodbye
to
all
of
our
staff,
which
is
not
just
staff.
It's
our
family,
it's
our
family
away
from
family
having
to
let
them
go
because
we
didn't
know
what
the
future
was.
Was
it
going
to
be
two
weeks?
D
Was
it
gonna
be
three
weeks
we
didn't
know
there
was
so
everything
was
so
unpredictable
and
moving
so
quickly,
but
you
know
we
sat
down
with
every
single
employee
filing
unemployment
for
each
of
them,
sometimes
many
of
them
having
to
translate
things
having
you
know
going
through
the
fear
of
giving
their
personal
information.
Because
that's
you
know
some
that
is
based
on
cultural
differences.
So
it
was
very
heartbreaking
and
then,
from
there
quickly
translating
that
into
takeout
and
delivery
we
never
did
take
out
delivery.
D
Our
food
is
to
be
presented
on
a
beautiful
plate,
it's
art,
it
doesn't
travel
well,
but
our
staff
and
our
team
and
our
chefs
quickly.
You
know
pivoted
to
saying
well
what
menu
items
do
travel
well,
how
can
we
make
it?
So
how
can
we
make
the
presentation
beautiful
still
so
what
they
did
was
extraordinary
and
we
are
very,
very,
very
proud
of
them
and
I
think,
with
the
county,
what
what
you
all
did
for
us.
Sometimes
sometimes
things
were
slow,
but
you
all
listened
to
us.
A
Wow,
that's
that's
a
family
described
within
ser
and
so
many
of
our
servers
we
think
about
everyone.
We
we
know
has
a
story
and
their
families
have
stories
too
so
jennifer
biggest
challenge.
I
mean,
I
think
that
you
may
have
originally
been
in
person
classes
and
then
oh,
I
had
to
go
all
digital,
so
that
seems,
like
you
know,
a
totally
different
dis
business
model.
B
It
was
I
mean
you
know,
on
a
personal
note
at
first
I
was
like.
Oh,
this
is
great
sweatpants
every
day
you
know
don't
have
to
pack
up,
but
on
a
realistic
note,
I
I'm
gonna
be
honest.
I
was
very
lucky
quickly.
I
spoke
to.
I
was
on
the
phone
with
the
client
believe
it
or
not,
and
we
were
speaking
casually
in
late
february
and
his
company,
which
is
a
global
firm,
was
getting.
They
just
got
a
notification,
he
said.
Can
I
call
you
back.
B
He
called
me
back
and
said:
they've
shut
down
all
of
our
travel
they've
shut
down
even
domestic,
and
we
have
to
go
to
telemeetings.
Now
we
have
to
do
this
training
in
my
brain
I
get
off
the
phone,
I'm
like.
Oh
that's,
deep.
I
get
off
the
phone
and
my
brain
goes.
Oh,
no!
That's
terrible,
because
my
entire
model
is
literally
getting
people
together
at
the
table
to
change
perspectives
and
to
connect.
B
So
I
had
no
idea
how
this
was
gonna
go
called
my
mom
and
literally
start
ordering
stuff
on
amazon
like
I
need
streaming
materials
this
and
that
and
by
the
second
week
in
march.
Thank
goodness.
I
was
fully
up
and
running
digitally
and
had
no
idea
using
christina's
words.
Christiana's
words
of
you
know
unpredictable
had
no
idea
what
that
was
going
to
look
like,
but
the
beauty
was.
I
started
with
just
a
free
community
class
weekly
to
give
people
some
tips
on
what
to
do
with
all
of
these
the
food
and
shopping.
B
You
know
that
kind
of
mayhem
that
was
going
on
and
it
evolved
to
start
it
to
a
full-fledged
community
that
still
exists
today,
which
generated
digital
jobs
now
quickly.
I
still
have
some
hurdles
like
how
can
I
make
you
smell
the
food?
You
know,
I
can't
make
it
scratch
and
sniff,
but
you
know,
but
generally
we
still
all
cook
together.
So
it
was
a
complete
pivot
into
a
new
business
model
which
is
now
becoming
another
avenue.
So
it's
it's
had
its
ups
and
downs
but
challenging
nonetheless
sure.
A
A
I
have
it's
about
what
you're
hearing
about
covid
and
the
vaccines
now
and
because
we're
all
eager-
and
I
can
tell
you-
I
know-
that
the
chamber
of
commerce,
your
members,
because
we
hear
from
them
on
the
county
board,
we're
all
eager,
but
this
time
maybe
I'll
start.
I
don't
know
christiana
if
there's
something
that
you're
hearing
about
covet
and
vaccines,
are
your
servers
starting
to
get
vaccinated?
Are
they
eager
to?
A
D
Well,
for
the
most
part,
everybody
is
super
super
excited.
You
know
our
team
is
excited
to
get
the
vaccine,
obviously,
because
we're
not
eligible
yet
we
only
have
about
five
servers
who
have
gotten
the
vaccine
due
to
underlying
health
conditions,
but
you
know,
overall,
we
are
seeing
our
dining
room
full,
because
I
think
there
are
more
people
over
the
age
that
qualify
or
with
health
conditions
that
have
been
vaccinated
and
feel
comfortable
to
dine
indoors.
D
So
that's
beautiful,
seeing
you
know,
they're
facing
their
faces
and
seeing
their
smiles
light
up
for
real,
not
just
under
their
masks,
has
been
just
illuminating,
our
dining
room,
it's
something
that
it's
beginning
to
feel
normal
again,
but
in
terms
of
our
employees,
they
are
just.
They
can't
wait.
They
can't
wait.
Of
course,
there
are
certain
certain
small
cohorts
that
are
a
little
bit
skeptical
apprehensible
apprehensive
due
to
a
number
of
reasons:
cultural
or
religious.
D
A
Got
it
that's
that's
great
and
a
helpful
reminder:
we
have
to
keep
making
the
vaccine
accessible
so
that
have
all
different
cultures.
Everyone
under
starts
to
hear
the
costs
and
the
benefits,
and
when
you
do
the
benefits
so
critical,
so
daniel
anything
that
you're
hearing
is,
are
people
starting
to
actually
come
in
to
drop
off
now
at
your
business?
Yes,.
C
Yep,
absolutely
the
you
know,
traffic's
picking
back
up,
you
know
as
far
as
staff
wise,
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
mixed
bag.
You
know,
cristiano,
you
know
mentioned
like
the
the
the
the
fear
and
the
lack
of
trust
there,
but
you
know
just
kind
of
do
what
I
can
to
you
know
reinforce
to
them
that
it
is
safe
and
kind
of
being
out
front
with
it
and
leading
by
example.
C
A
Yes,
well,
that's
I
mean
sometimes
showing
people
that
little
extra
warmth
at
the
start
can
make
a
big
difference,
and
then
you
also
have
to
meet
people
where
they
are.
If
they
have
initial
concerns,
you
got
to
hear
them
out
and
I
think
there's
all
of
us
come
to
to
vaccines
into
to
looking
considering
a
needle
with
different
different
perspectives.
So
is
there
anything
you're
hearing
jennifer?
Are
you
starting
to
get
more
folks
interested?
Are
there
any
in-person
classes
might
be
a
little
soon?
I
would
guess.
B
No,
it's
funny.
We
actually
had
part
of
our
community
once
once
a
month.
We
have
an
extended
kind
of
after
party
kind
of
thing,
and
the
vaccine
was
the
entire
topic,
and
so
at
one
point
it
was
people
were
still
apprehensive.
There
were
certain
names
they
brands,
they
didn't
know
if
they
went
to
go
with
this
and
that,
but
then
it
came
up
again
in
recent
months
and
they're
like
oh
me,
I'm
getting
it.
B
So
what
I'm
seeing
is
people
want
to
get
out,
people
want
to
hug
again
be
sociable
again
and
they
want
to
cook
together
again.
So
yes,
I'm
getting
the
calls
already
like
this
summer.
Will
you
be
having,
like
you
know,
vaccine
events
we'll
bring
our
paperwork
and
things
like
that,
so
I'm
actually
working
around
that
now.
B
We've
already
started
scheduling
hybrid,
which
means
for
some
people
who
are
just
not
ready,
even
if
they
have
that
vaccine
and
that's
fair,
they
can
participate
on
the
digital
end,
but
the
people
who
are
ready
and
we
can
safely
distance
them.
My
classes
won't
be
as
large
as
they
used
to
be
for
now.
Oh
we're
doing
it
because
there's
a
mental
spiritual
health
connection
thing
that
I'm
finding
that's
very
important,
so
we're
just
going
to
move
into
a
safe
safely.
But
people
are
ready
from
what
I'm
seeing.
A
Well,
I
really
like
it.
You
mentioned
mental
and
spiritual,
and
he
also
mentioned
one
of
the
things
that
one
of
my
friends
and
my
sister
also
said:
she's
ready,
I'm
ready
to
give
her
a
hug.
You
know
that
that
has
been
outside
of
our
experience
for
for
so
long
with
our
friends,
and
so
that's
that's
a
thought
about.
Are
you
scott?
Is
there
anything
you're
able
to
sort
of
synthesize
about
your
members
and
what
you're
hearing
is
to
to
this
moment?
A
E
Yeah,
so
the
sense
that
I'm
getting
is,
I
think,
of
a
recognition
and
an
important
one
that,
as
we're
talking
about
getting
back
to
normal
normal's,
very
still
a
ways
off
for
a
lot
of
businesses.
We
have,
you
know
quite
the
hole
that
the
last
13
months
have
dug
douglas
in
and
that
we're
gonna
continue
to
need
to.
You
know,
abide
by
some
of
the
covet
protocols.
So,
for
example,
you
know
we
often
hear
the
advice.
Even
once
you
get
the
vaccine,
keep
your
distance
keep
wearing
your.
C
E
Temporary
outdoor
seating
areas
for
restaurants,
ptosis,
like
we
would
have
if
we
go
to
eat
at
ser,
going
to
be
important
continually
through
2021,
I
think
into
2022
I'd
love
to
see
those
become
permanent
as
well
as
a
way
to
keep
that
going.
You
know,
I
think
jennifer
talked
a
lot
about
looking
at.
You
know
the
hybrid
classes,
meeting
people
where
they
are
having
that
flexibility
to
do
that,
and
then
also
what
are
the
new
innovations
that
are
needed.
E
One
of
the
best
anecdotes
that
I've
heard
is
from
one
of
our
live
entertainment
spaces
in
the
arts.
They
are
going
to
invest
in
contactless
ticketing
as
a
way
to
get
patrons
back
into
their
theaters
and
to
do
it
safely.
But
of
course,
a
large
upfront
cost
on
that.
But
what
it
really
all
comes
down
to
is
that
same
human
connection
that
we've
been
talking
about
wanting
to
bring
employees
back
because
they're
our
work
family
wanting
patrons
back,
because
that's
why
we
go
into
business
and.
A
A
Right
well,
there's
there's
a
lot
there
from
the
the
county,
ptosis
temporary
outdoor
seating
areas,
which
is
our
acronym,
our
nerdy
acronym
of
the
day.
I
think,
but
it
is
important
because
outdoor
seating
has
been
a
big
piece
for
for
businesses
for
sure.
So
I
want
to
just
ask
if
you
can
think
about
you
know
as
you've
been
talking
with
your
employees.
A
If
you
have
something
specific,
that
is
that's
that
you
that
has
worked
as
you
get
folks
to
consider
a
vaccine
want
us
to
think
about
that
question
before
we
do.
I
just
want
to
share
that
the
website
vaccinate.virginia.gov
that's
a
resource,
if
you're
out
there
and
you're
thinking
about
this,
please
pre-register.
A
If
you
are
inclined,
you
can
also
go
to
that
website
to
find
out
information,
but
I'm
really
curious
from
each
of
you.
What
has
worked
with
your
employees-
and
you
know,
christiana
you've
said
it's
important
to
honor
the
con.
The
fair
concerns
that
people
have,
but
the
the
vaccine
is
free.
It
has
zero
to
do
with
the
rest
of
the
federal
government.
There's
actually
law
that
that
that
prevents
any
melding
of
the
the
data,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
anything's
worked
for
you.
D
I
think
it's
what
you
mentioned
earlier
and
that
is
that
it's
it's
basically
this
or
you
could
be
sick,
very
sick
and
have
lifelong
effects
or,
to
be
very
frank,
you
don't
you
won't
be
here,
anymore,
you'll
die,
and
so
it's
like
having
these
frank
conversations
one-on-one
again,
we
do
one-on-one
conversations
because
I
feel,
like
people
have
personal.
You
know
personal
things
going
on,
so
we
like
to
have
it
one-on-one
and
just
talking
to
them
and
giving
them
the
facts.
We
believe
in
science.
Science
tells
the
truth.
D
This
is
like
you
mentioned:
it's
not
political.
This
is
not
religious,
it's
a
matter
of
life
or
death.
So
we're
having
those
honest
conversations
and
I
think,
little
by
little,
you
know
we're
getting
questions
back,
we're
having
very
intimate
conversations.
I
think
that
has
been
working
a
lot
just
laying
down
the
facts,
one-on-one
and
really
making
sure
that
this
is
not
nothing,
nothing
personal.
It
is
something
to
be
safe
and
for
us
to
have
our
jobs
and
for
the
economy
to
start
building
back
again.
A
Sure,
well,
that's
helpful.
The
one-on-one
seems
to
work
better
work.
You
know
be
really
important
when
you
can.
You
know
a
a
phone
conversation
or
a
text.
Sometimes
you
can
answer
questions
that
are
harder
in
a
group
and
I
actually
jennifer.
You
have
a
have
a
family
that
has
the
once
of
once
a
month.
I
think
happy
hours,
I'm
gonna
try
and
get
into
that.
But
I
I
should
ask
first,
but
is
there
something
as
you're
working
with
colleagues
or
your
team
employees
that
that
works?
A
B
There
something
works,
so
actually
mine
is
going
to
be
a
completely
different
perspective
aside
from
contracted
employees,
when
we
were
in
person
since
we've
gone
digital,
I
have
been
a
one-woman
show,
I'm
like
the
little
thing
playing
the
cymbals
and
the
drums
and
the
harmonica
at
the
same
time.
So
more
so
I
had
the
two
areas
I
looked
at.
The
most
were
number
one
myself.
B
But
so
it's
a
big
deal
and
I
think
when
employees,
when
people
actually
see
someone
suffer
or
suffer
themselves.
I
think
that
kind
of
goes
into
the
thing
of
yes.
There
may
be
some
connotations
with
it,
but
what
do
we
have
to
do
to
keep
things
moving
forward
and
try
to
you
know,
stay
alive
in
business
and
in
life.
A
Well
that
I
think
that
there
is
a
gift
that
you
get
when
someone
shares
something
real
and
personal
with
with
you,
it's
a
gift
and
you've
just
done
that,
but
also
you
know,
that's
that
connects
with
people
they
respond
and
you
take
a
risk,
and
certainly
so
much
is
at
stake.
That's
a
tough
act
to
follow
daniel,
but
we'll
ask
you
to
share
a
little
bit.
C
So
I
I
could,
I
could
you
know,
speak
to
both.
You
know
one
is
sort
of
piggybacking
back
with
christiane
and
like
the
one-on-one
and
having
these
conversations,
but
also,
actually,
you
know,
sitting
down
and
walking
each
person
through
the
process
right
so
like
we
take
it.
We
take
for
granted
the
fact
that
we
all
were
able
to
get
on
this.
This
call
together,
you
know
our,
you
know
the
the
technical
you
know
things
like
that
and
getting
on
and
following
links
and
filling
in
information
right.
So
we
take
that
for
granted.
C
Perhaps,
but
you
know
not,
everybody
is
able
is
able
to
pick
it
up
that
quickly
and
be
able
to
follow
through
with
that
stuff.
So
you
know
us
sitting
down
as
as
hopefully
respected.
You
know,
individuals
and
kind
of
helping
and
helping
them
walk
through
the
process.
It
means
a
lot
you
know
and
then
you
know
it's
sort
of
like
the
they're
getting
back
to
normal,
like
like
you
mentioned,
you
know,
oh
I'm,
I'm
a
high
fiver,
so
looking
forward
to
getting
back
to.
D
A
B
A
Sure
so
you
guys
are
both
that's
that's
kind
of
keeping
the
momentum,
and
maybe
we'll
just
I
don't
know
scott.
If
you
have
things
that
kind
of
keep
you
inspired
and
keep
you
going
as
you
try
to
help
businesses
and
give
energy,
because
you
know
it's
getting
warmer
and
we're
all
anticipating
summer,
but
we're
still,
we've
still
got
a
month
or
two
at
least
of
work
to
do
with
all
the
is
there
something
that
inspires
you
as
your
work
in
your
work.
E
It
is-
and
I
think
keeping
the
momentum
is-
is
really
the
right
phrasing
for
that,
and
even
as
I've
seen
it,
you
know
as
relates
to
the
vaccine.
Helping
people
have
that
information.
So
you
know
sharing
the
vaccinate.virginia.gov
site,
making
sure
people
know
that
you
know
next
week
we'll
go
to
that
open
availability,
but
that
everyone
should
go
in
and
sign
up
for
that.
Don't
you
know
think
you
need
to
wait.
You
know
that
you'll
you'll
get
in
there
at
the
right
time
also
encourage
people
as
they're
comfortable
to
share
their
vaccine
success
stories.
E
You
know,
I
know
someone
who
had
a
lot
of
success
with
vaccine
finder
and
get
it
getting
a
an
appointment
at
a
pharmacy
and
then
sharing
that
and
it
was
inspiring
because
you
know
it
was
only
three
short
months
ago
that
you
know
we
were
talking
about.
You
know
a
thousand
doses
a
week
and
it
seemed
like
it
would
take
forever
and
you
know
now
we're
in
a
much
different
environment,
but
when
we
share
that
excitement,
you're,
hearing
friends,
colleagues,
members
of
mine,
telling
their
success
stories
and
getting
the
vaccine
that
got
me
excited
that.
E
My
time
is
coming
that
I'm
going
to
get
the
vaccine
and
then
wanting
to
share
that
forward.
So
much
as
with
business
when
working
with
our
employees
we're
working
with
our
customers,
we
want
to
keep
that
momentum
forward
and
excitement
to
come
back
and
and
try
more.
I
think
it's
the
same
with
the
vaccine
and
really
just
keep
that
positivity
going,
because
it
brings
us
out
to
the
really
good
place
that
we're
trying
to
get
to.
Yes,.
A
D
I
mean
this
year
has
taught
us
so
many
things,
but
the
most
you
mentioned
something
earlier.
I
think
about
silver
linings,
or
maybe
I'm
just
thinking
several
linings
here
on
my
own,
but
I
mean
it's
the
strength
of
this
community,
what
a
privilege
for
us
to
live
here
and
work
in
arlington,
because
I
do
feel
that
we
all
come
together.
D
Our
guests
came
together.
Our
vendors
came
together.
Our
landlord
came
together
to
help
the
county
came.
Togeth
came
together
to
help
our
employees
all
banded.
Together
I
mean
it
was
just
that's
just
so
beautiful
to
see
when
we
didn't
see
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
a
year
ago,
or
even
a
couple
months
ago
and
now
beginning
to
see
this
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
I
mean
it
just
illustrates
the
strength
of
this
community
and
it's
a
privilege
to
be
part
of
this
community.
We
are
very,
very
privileged,
so
thank
you.
A
Well,
thank
you,
I
I
I
appreciate
it
and
and
what
a
hopeful
note
each
of
you
have
shared
in
different
ways
about
getting
through
this,
and
I
do
think
every
dose
in
an
arm
is
another
bit
of
light
towards
the
tunnel
and
getting
through
that
tunnel
of
covet
and
and
so
we
are
last
night.
Someone
was
mentioning.
