We have an obligation for the safety of each other going forward during this pandemic crisis. We will continue to look toward our State leadership in formulating plans for a resumption of our normal activities. In quoting Governor DeWine:

"I have an obligation as the Governor of Ohio to get people back to work and keep them safe. Opening everything up at once would not be consistent with the obligation to keep people safe, our responsible Restart Ohio plan is the best guarantee that Ohioans will feel safe going to stores and employees will feel safe going to work. I'm optimistic about our future, but we can't be reckless."

Best regards and stay safe,

SCSA Officers and Board
