Relax and Recharge
Kick back and relax! Summer is officially right around the corner. June 21 marks the Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year. Take advantage of the warm days and the chance to be outdoors with your friends and family. We also celebrate all the dads we love on Father’s Day, which falls on June 19 this year. Hopefully we will continue our recovery from the pandemic, as we remind everyone to be careful and stay safe. And don’t forget the sunscreen!
