Dear Friends and Neighbors,
This is a difficult time for our city, and I want to thank everyone for doing their part by continuing to follow the shelter-in-place order.  By following the local local shelter-in-place order, staying home, and practicing social distancing we can protect one another and save lives.Though our lives have changed in ways that we couldn’t have imagined just weeks ago, I have also been inspired by the incredible leadership of District 7 neighborhood associations that have stepped up to outreach to our senior and vulnerable residents. While Resilient Miraloma Park, West Portal, METNA, Lakeside 1, and Community Connectors have already began outreaching and activated their members, my office is working to support and engage our other neighborhood associations to leverage relationships in their communities so that those who may want or need support know that it is available. I want to ensure that everyone in District 7 is made aware of available resources and we unite as a community to help one another.We have weathered hard times as a city before, and we will all get through this by supporting one another. Please know that you can reach out to my office during this challenging time – we are all here to help.Sincerely,

Norman
