Serving the community

The first in a series of articles highlighting local employees going above and beyond during the coronavirus pandemic.

Heroes wear many uniforms ... and one of those uniforms is a green Cahoon Nursery shirt! Thanks to Jim, Connell and Alec for their outstanding service in this time of social distancing.

Small businesses represents 75% of our economy. Let us not forget all the employees that show up for work and work extremely hard to keep their small business employers afloat during these trying times.

My hubby and I ventured out to Cahoon Nursery for “essential” replacement trees. Not only did Alec respect social distancing, but he managed to answer every question and show us every option while keeping his distance.

After our purchase, Jim and Connell came to install our purchase. I can be a little picky on placement and slow to decide. Their patience, their persistence to please, and their efficient skills of planting left me feeling so appreciated and valued.

Thank you, guys, for your service. Thank you for your upbeat attitude which lightened my spirits in this trying time.

Small business owners bear so much risk. They are working creatively to survive during the "Safer at Home" mandate. Let us not forget to say thanks to them and their employees for their efforts to serve each one of us.
