To: Antrim County Residents and Board of Commissioners

As you all know, the pandemic continued to move throughout the communities in Antrim County in 2021 forcing me to make daily decisions that would strike a balance between the desire to resume our more social activities and services and protecting seniors, volunteers and staff. I relied heavily on the input from the COA Staff and Advisory Board to do so and I believe, overall, we made the right choices along the way. We continually weighed the pros and cons of resuming services, one by one - and of closing our building temporarily when circumstances warranted extra caution. Almost certainly, no other group has been hit harder by this pandemic than the elderly, especially in terms of isolation and declining physical health. I am proud to be in a position to lead the incredible team at the COA, finding creative ways to continue providing, and at times even enhancing, senior services throughout these challenging times and I look forward to 2022 with optimistic hope.
