With the new April edition comes the Featured Photo of the Month; check it out —  it’s a neat view of a downtown Oakland feature.

The “Where Am I?” contest is posted, too. Don’t think too hard on this one!

Yesterday we had posted some guidance on “essential” businesses from the County but, as turns out, there were a few inaccuracies. Our apologies for this — the Federal guidance on “essential” businesses and sectors can be found at https://www.cisa.gov/publication/guidance-essential-critical-infrastructure-workforce.

Our friends at Railey Realty are sharing “Zoom Backgrounds” for your online work conferences. It’s just like you’re here at the Lake! There are more than 10 Deep Creek backgrounds to download.

I’m happy to report I have seen our community working together in so many different ways: there have been so many local restaurants donating food to our first-line workers and essential employers. Also, I saw a generous donation to a local assisted living home, Cherry Hill, when a resident shared a sign that said “I’m doing well – send peanuts” and another sign said, “send chocolate”.

Keep these wonderful humans in your thoughts and prayers. Stay well this weekend.
