    Gm and is that a correct event for It’s A Spring Thing Community Covid Testing by Health Connections for tomorrow Saturday April 2 at Parklawn? Just asking because I know there’s a funeral there tomorrow. And Dream Team, Parklawn and New Hope Youth submitted It’s A Spring Thing Community Resource Fest for next Saturday April 9 at Parklawn from 1-4.
