Good Morning WMVR,
The office will be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day.
Memorial Day
This year we are all challenged with the Stay at Home orders and being safe. Don’t let this discourage you from finding ways to observe Memorial Day. Start some new traditions! Take a virtual tour of the White House. Need to walk? Take flowers to the local veteran’s cemetery and place on the graves of the fallen heroes. Make it a memorable weekend and Stay Safe!
