mem_winterhillHello neighbors--
As you likely expect, the Winter Hill Neighborhood Association in-person meetings will go on hiatus until there are changes in the recommendations from the public health scientists. Of course, we will still be available by forum, Facebook, and our email list. If you need something, have neighborhood issues, or have interesting information--do continue to share.
If you are spending a lot of time indoors, you can keep yourself entertained in a number of ways.
Northeastern has a course on dealing with our current Covid-19 issues. https://www.resilience-ed.org/ Hear from experts on how to say safe and sane during this drama.
The Somerville Public Library has great online resources. I love to watch The Great Courses on the streaming service Kanopy that you can access through our library. They also have great films from around the world. https://www.somervillepubliclibrary.org/books-movies-music-etc/watch
The online book collection isn't quite as extensive as the paper form, but I can always find something to read or listen to. I recommend the "Libby" app for audiobooks, and you can download books for reading too. But I mostly read on my Kindle just because I like the size better. But there are different platform choices over there. https://www.somervillepubliclibrary.org/books-movies-music-etc/read
Around the neighborhood: I hope that you are getting take-out food from our restaurants if you can. Obviously it's going to be a rough time for them. If you are a small biz person or staff member, our friend of Winter Hill Jennifer Atwood who is director of East Somerville Main Streets has a helpful page of resources that she's updating for local owners and employees. https://www.eastsomervillemainstreets.org/covid-19-updates
Be well, everyone. And wave from afar.
