This way, Ashley will be able to contact any who might have been exposed to the coronavirus should any more cases arise. There is a table in front of her office door with a sign in/sign out sheet. Thank you for your understanding as we do our best to protect our members. -We're excited to share that Shady Grove now has access to an extensive, new video library called RightNow Media!
