[OMS_MANAGERS] Fwd: FW: Two Week Statewide COVID Freeze starting 11/18

Fri Nov 13 16:10:28 PST 2020

Would your Chamber president be willing to draft a template letter we can
all use? That might make it more effective, easier & cohesive for main
streets.

We might also want to reach out to and coordinate with Independent
Restaurant Alliance of OR who have been lobbying for this in a very
organized manner. They would be thrilled to join forces with Main Streets
and support. I know them so let me know if that’s something people would
like.

Thanks
