Greetings and welcome to OutreachNC 2.0!
As many readers sit safely at home, hunkered down and doing their part to control the COVID-19 pandemic, we have thought long and hard about how to best continue providing our readers and the community with engaging, educational content.
Many of our Aging Outreach Services staff, clients and the caregivers we represent are on the front lines, continuing to provide services and care to our clients. We see first-hand the impact this pandemic is having and the need to create a way forward.
What we’ve discovered as we take a tactical pause is that sometimes, in foggy moments and uncertain times, the best thing we can do is go home. For OutreachNC this means returning to our roots, where we began over a decade ago. Before the glossy magazine covers and perfect binding, we had a newsletter, a simple, yet effective way to connect with the community. With that in mind, we have transitioned OutreachNC Magazine to OutreachNC Newsletter, which gives us flexibility in getting this content to your inboxes, your mailboxes and, when the world reblooms, into the community.
The content will remain timely, informative and fun. We’ll still be reviewing books, keeping up on the latest health trends, exploring social trends and crossing off our crosswords. More than ever, we will be connecting with each other, leaning in rather than slowing down.
Together we will weather the storms of 2020 and beyond. Upward and onward.
