We are out and about, enjoying the glorious weather we’ve been having in California recently, AND we are continuing to help keep our loved ones, our community, and ourselves safe. We are still refraining from large indoor gatherings and when we do gather indoors with others, we are continuing to wear face coverings. We do not know what we may be carrying or how susceptible someone else’s immune system may be to whatever we might possibly transmit. Keeping our community healthy is a team sport.
Looking for some Greece Is the Word mugs, tees, hoodies, onesies, face coverings, and neck gaiters? You came to the right spot.
