And every business, every store, has a sign that you have no service is you are not wearing a mask, you
cannot come in. And they all have the six foot spacing on the floors. They are taking it quite seriously in
New York and they are doing quite well. | was listening to the Governor yesterday and he is, | think he’s
doing a great job here in New York to stem this pandemic and | wish we had more of an effort in the
Federal Government. So thank you.

Thank you Alderman Dowd. Anyone else? Alderman Caron.
Alderman Caron
Yes thank you so much. First of all I’d like to thank everyone who participated in this 16 Annual Back to
School Event. Because of the pandemic we had to improvise this year and instead of being at the Library
we were at the Middle School at Elm Street. We were at Amherst Street School and we were at
Fairgrounds Elementary School. And within one hour all three schools gave out the 1,500 bags that had
been put together a couple of days before. So! really want to thank United Way, the Recovery Program,
The Nashua Lions Club and McNulty and Foley for providing the lunch and all those administrators from the
various schools that showed up that day and saw their students, wishing them good luck. | think the
students were so excited to see their principals and vice principals. It was a hot day.
| thank Lisa Gingras with her athletes who came down and spent hours with us on that day, directing traffic
with Nashua PD who did a fabulous job. So hopefully next year we will be back in the Library, but we
really, really appreciate that and this comes from the Committee as a whole, as you know, Mary Ann
Melizzi-Golja and George Katis from Nashua Wallpaper are the co-chairs and who have been overseeing
this project for the last 16 years. I’d like to also thank Sue Lovering, you made it, the trial by fire and kudos
to you and all your staff because | know how hard those Ward workers work and all those volunteers who
came in to help you with the absentee ballots and | know that you will do a fabulous job come November. |
appreciate everything that all our City Employees have been doing during this pandemic and craziness
that’s going on in our world. Thank you.
