We have received word from the Salt Lake City Library that they are canceling all public meetings and events at all branches through April 15th in response to the Coronavirus outbreak. With this in mind, we have made the decision to cancel our March and April community council meetings. We understand that the current situation can be overwhelming. On behalf of all of the board members of the Glendale Community Council - Ashley, Latu, Jeremy, Dane, and Ryan - I would like to reassure you that times like this are an occasion to come together as neighbors. We encourage you to practice acts of neighborly kindness and to support one another at this time. We encourage you to support your neighbors - particularly those who might have mobility or health challenges that make grocery shopping or other tasks difficult. We also encourage you to rely on trustworthy sources for news about Coronavirus, like: - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Salt Lake City's Coronavirus Fact Page - Utah Department of Health Coronavirus Information Our neighborhood and our city are strongest when our neighbors care for one another. Should you or your family need support or assistance during this time, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you, Turner C. Bitton Chair - Glendale Community Council chair@glendaleutah.org (801) 564-3860 Location: Glendale Library
