PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – Pause to Reflect
It won’t be long before it’s time for us to think about New Year’s resolutions. Personally, I’ve never really taken this practice very seriously, but I know a lot of people who do.

The colors on the map show yellow as “abnormally dry”, beige as “moderate drought” and orange as “severe drought”.
