Glen Elle Fair 2019 logoHey Neighbor! Don’t forget to send us your photo or video!

Let’s make May all about the connectedness and celebration of love in our community. Together we will get through this crazy time. The Glen Ellen Forum is preparing a ‘hey neighbor’ photo and video project. The intention is to give us a chance to reach out and say hi to each other. If you’d like to participate, please send a short video clip of yourself or your family or send in a photo with text to forum@glenellen.org. Please include your name and whatever message you’d like to send to others in your community. Are you celebrating a milestone? Are you planting a garden? Are you starting a new activity? The forum tech-team will compile all submissions into a video montage that will be shown at the June Forum meeting and will post up on Facebook and on our website. We miss everyone! Please reach out and say ‘hey neighbor’! We’ll share the results on our website and at our next Monthly Meeting.

Most businesses in Sonoma County remain closed or are operating in a restricted capacity to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. The County’s emergency website socoemergency.org remains the best place for up to date local information on COVID-19 statistics, shelter in place orders, and orders from the Sonoma County Health Officer.

The County Economic Development Department recently published an additional website “Soco Launch” specifically for businesses that describes industry-specific guidelines and best practices for preparing to safely reopen as well as links to resources for economic assistance. You can view the new website here.
