Yes.
Alderman Lopez
So as much as we are in a pandemic, and everybody is practicing social distancing voluntarily, it also can
be a tremendous burden on people in particular who are extroverts or who need social supports. So | just
wanted to remind the public that Mobile Crisis Response Team is still operating. We are using all the
safety precautions that are appropriate. And they are open 24/7. So if you are in distress, reach out to
someone. The number is (603) 816-0101.
And then also for people who thought | would have an event to announce, this Saturday at 7:00 P.M. we
are doing an on-line fundraiser through Involve to Impact. We are trying to raise money for masks. So if
anybody is interested in maybe hanging out with people while not hanging out with people, just go to
Involvetolmpact.org. We are trying to organize it from there.
President Wilshire
Thank you.
Alderman Schmidt
Thank you, Madam President. | just wanted to thank all of the people who are sewing masks. | don’t know

we can produce. But it is a huge thank you and | just wanted to make sure folks knew about that.
President Wilshire

people that are volunteering at the school to give out the meals at lunchtime for the kids to take home. Just
to remind the parents that most of the schools, the elementary schools and the junior high schools are
open. | believe it is 11:00 to 4:00 for you to pick up meals for your children for the next few days. They are

President Wilshire
Ok again I'd like to take a moment to thank the Mayor, Public Health, First Responders, | mean everyone.
Everyone in this City has really come together, as difficult a situation as this has been | think some of our
