Spring Has Sprung

Spring always feels like the right time to freshen things up, to recharge, reenergize, remodel, rebuild. We are a year past the beginning of COVID – the pandemic that has forever changed us. How we work and how we interact with others is different. But we keep moving forward and are making great strides. May this season put some spring in your step!
