Mark M. – Was that a “computerinturuptus” of the 4-way test? Interruption cost you a buck.
Jim – Invoice for chamber membership – nothing personalized in that envelope. Only the invoice. So, that will cost you a buck (Was hoping it would only be seen by your accounting team Jim replied)

Conrad – you need to let Jim G. know he owes us a fine.
Conversation:
Jill echoed that the COVID conversation is greatly familiar to what is happening in England. Being a holiday destination like us, we are concerned with the number of tourists arriving and bringing the virus with them.
