The warmer weather has been a great delight over the past few days, and came just on time as spring officially kicked off last week. With spring though, we begin to see more people suffering from allergy flare-ups.

Spring is upon us and more and more vaccines are becoming available. For those of you 45 and older, I hope you’ve been able to get your vaccine appointment.

Last week, 8 people were killed in Atlanta, 6 of whom were Asian, 7 of whom were women. Anti-Asian violence has increased here in the United States and even globally.

I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous day. Spring is in the air. Today’s e-mail has some updates, information about COVID, as usual, and a request of all of you.

As we continue to face the pandemic, many of us are what I call soul weary. Earlier this week, I came across a really helpful tool that can help us manage stress by “reaching in” and “reaching out.”

I wanted to give you an update about this week’s work in the legislature, the latest news about vaccine timelines, work from some of our amazing local activists, and information about how to sign up for the Fairfield Public Library’ One Book One Town event.
