Creekside Quilting Newsletter 05/18/2021
Well, the CDC sure surprised us last week, didn't they? You can't imagine how much I have agonized over what is the best way to handle these new guidelines from the CDC, and it seems as though every day, something is changing. It's been a tough week trying to decide what is truly best for our customers, staff, community, and store as a whole, when we have some people vacinated and some people not. I do prefer that people wear a mask while shopping in the store, yet I do want you to enjoy your shopping experience. So I am changing our Covid 19 Policy from Mask Required to Mask Strongly Recommended. I just keep coming back to, as a community, if we all continue to do our part, then hopefully we will kick this Covid 19 virus and be able to really get back to a maskless life. Thank you for continuing to shop at Creekside Quilting and being a part of my happy place!What's New @ Creekside Quilting?
