Reiterating what has been said here, Kevin's efforts and the notes in particular are helpful and informative. As I indicated last week, I have a standing conflict and cannot attend the Tuesday morning sessions.</div>

I have very little to add from Bandon. One of the primary efforts like many towns have been reporting is a Facebook page on restaurant takeouts and deliveries. Restaurants put up their menus, hours, phone and delivery phone. The Chamber has done most of the
work on this and sadly I must confess it is slowly dying. We started with 20 restaurants on the list. The 11th just closed this morning, six in the last four days. Our small town with an average age of 58 simply can't support them.</div>

It is not a good time for our small businesses here and the influx of out of town folks on the coast over this last weekend was a killer here. All of our lodging has been shut down since Monday.</div>
