KWSO Calendar for Sun., Nov. 7, 2021

Daylight saving time has ended.  If you didn’t set your clock back an hour last night or first thing this morning, you should do it now.  The change means daylight earlier in the morning and darkness earlier in the evening.

Please continue to take COVID-19 precautions by wearing a face mask and maintaining distance from others.  This can feel awkward when you interact with family and friends that don’t live with you or who you haven’t see in a while but it’s so important to still follow the protocols to keep our community safe.  COVID-19 Booster Shots for folks 65 and older or who are high risk can be scheduled now.  The Warm Springs Health & Wellness Center is also beginning the appointment process for children 5 to 11 years old.  Call 541-553-2131.
