New Relief Fund Announced MAYOR ROMERO ANNOUNCES NEW RELIEF FUND DUE TO CORONAVIRUS - Tucson Mayor Regina Romero is creating a new fund to help small businesses and the community get relief from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus. In a guest opinion in yesterday's Arizona Daily Star (link below), the mayor announced she's creating the We Are One/Somos Uno Resiliency Fund, in partnership with the Community Foundation of Southern Arizona, that will support nonprofits, workers, families, and small businesses that have been negatively impacted by the pandemic. Romero is also forming the Mayor’s Economic Development Advisory Council that will represent a diverse set of stakeholders to identify the steps needed to reignite our local economy while empowering each of us with economic opportunity. Meanwhile, the Mayor and Tucson City Council tomorrow, April 14, will discuss the federal CARES Act and how it will assist in recovery efforts. The council also will begin laying out a local economic recovery plan that will include activating small business navigators who will connect small businesses with their needs.

You may not be able to help with a monetary donation but most os us can give blood. Please consider doing so. Blood drives and how to go about this are on their website. “We’re asking the American people to help keep the blood supply stable during this challenging time. As communities across the country prepare for this public health emergency, it’s critical that plans include a readily available blood supply for hospital patients . . . ” "Donating blood is a safe process and people should not hesitate to give or receive blood. There are no data or evidence that this coronavirus can be transmitted by blood transfusion, and there have been no reported cases of transfusion transmission for any respiratory virus including this coronavirus worldwide." "Red Cross employees follow thorough safety protocols including wearing gloves, routinely wiping down donor-touched areas, using sterile collection sets for every donation, and preparing the arm for donation with an aseptic scrub". FACE COVERINGS Protect Yourself, Protect Others Wearing a cloth face cover may prevent people who have COVID-19 and don’t know it from spreading the virus to others when they cough, breathe, or talk. Adopt the motto: "Act Like You Got It" – behave as if you have the virus and want to protect your friends, family and neighbors. While not a reliable means of preventing infection, using cloth coverings frees up Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) resources for healthcare workers in hospitals, clinics and other facilities. People do not need to wear face covers when alone, at home, or when outside away from other people. It may be good to wear a cloth face cover in places, such as a grocery store, workplace, or doctor's office, where it is difficult to keep physical distance (at least six feet) from others.

Dog Walkers -- North Dodge Needs You! The increase in folks walking their dogs has been tremendous! How about not simply walking the dog but also helping your community too? Not too many years ago it was realized that dog walkers often know their neighborhoods better than most of the residents because they're out there in it every day and often two or more times a day. Communities have started "Paws on Patrol" and "Dog Walker Watch" and the programs probably have many other names too but they basically do is the local police teach the dog walkers what are suspicious things to notice and when to report them. It's a great way to keep eyes all over the neighborhood all day, every day! One of our very own Lead Police Officers, Joe Gradias, is working with this program in Tucson. You can find his contact info in the Quick Links section of the bottom of this newsletter. Even if you're not a dog walker, if you know someone that is, please pass this on to them. We'd need at least a few volunteers to get this rolling. Talk about a great way to help contribute to your community's well-being and safety by doing something you're already doing! Poop Bags - FREE, EASY and QUICK! A lot of the new dog walkers aren't in the habit of remembering to bring "poop bags" along with them. To help them (and the rest of us too!), making a poop bag dispenser is so quick and easy PLUS it's a great way to get rid of all those grocery bags we're accumulating. Talk about a Win, Win situation! Win! Win! Win! actually when you think about it! Take a milk jug or some other plastic container with a handle. Turn it upside down and cut a hole from the front near the bottom. Fill with grocery bags. Hang from sign post using string, lightweight rope, zip ties, old shoelaces by wrapping around the handle of the jug and sticking through the holes on the post. Viola!
