H1N1 Awareness & DWG Response
- Along with many other local churches and organizations, DOVE
Westgate wants to maintain a cautious awareness, without undue
panic, regarding the current situation with the H1N1 flu virus.
As a response, we have purchased bottles of hand sanitizer and
will place them in all children's classrooms, and also in the
Cafe and Fellowship Hall. In addition, we have instructed our
Cafe workers to use gloves during all food preparation steps,
going forward. Again, the key word is cautious vigilance. As we
all make use of the hand sanitizers, we will make our church a
safer place as we walk together through this seasonal situation.
Thanks for your support.
