With the start of September and Labor Day right around the corner it is quite clear that summer is coming to an end. Normally, this would also be the time for those last vacation getaways and barbeques with the whole family. Gatherings of all shapes and sizes. Oddly, we are starkly reminded that this year will be different. This holiday we will perhaps video gather with our family, enjoy the sun quietly in our yards or balconies, or even be brave enough to gather with 3 other friends. We may not venture far from home, but we will continue to discover the small gems in our own neighborhoods.
While we all mark Labor Day as the touchstone for getting back to work...sandals off and the children back to school, did you know Labor Day was actually observed as a yearly tribute to all the men and women who work year-round to keep our country running? The U.S. Department of Labor has said it is a “yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.” We believe now after a very untraditional end of Winter, Spring and Summer this should be celebrated and honored heartily yet safely. Businesses small and large struggled and adapted to our “new normal.” We have all worked hard to ensure the well-being of our clients and patrons, even while regulations were changing every day. So, hats off to all our clients, consultants, and First Responders who have continued to help us contribute to a better NYC!
Thank you all and stay safe!
