While we must grudgingly accept the new normal within our community for at least the next few weeks, we are determined to make the best of it. So, please be aware that San Diego Community Newspaper Group will maintain our commitment to providing you with news and information to help you see the good news of the week. We plan to continue our normal publication schedule.

We ask that you also keep us posted on the good news in your neighborhood by sending it to [email protected]. Knowledge is power for us all, and as we spend less time in face-to-face dialogue with each other, publications like ours can help maintain the sense of community we share. 

We need to share the good news with each other so that while our community is honestly aware of the challenges we face, we can still be uplifted by our continued joys and successes.

The COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest event of our time. We encourage you to do what good journalists do and go to the primary sources of information as directly as possible.

For more information on the State of California “Stay At Home” order, including what’s closed, what’s open and which industries are exempted by the state can be found on the California Covid-19 response website.

 A final word…

Tomorrow will belong to those who make the best use of their time today. Change, even unwelcome change, brings opportunities. New ways of doing things will present themselves. Those who use this uncomfortable time to observe the changes and prepare for their effects will be far more likely to find prosperity on the other side. Stay healthy, stay vigilant, and never allow complacency to set in.

We wish good health to all our readers and advertisers and we look forward to the day we can shake hands with you again and begin to seize the new opportunities awaiting us on the other side of this crisis.
