We had an awesome Zoom turn-out (75% of our members!) to hear an amazing speaker, Chief Stuart Blasingame from Prosper Fire & Rescue, who updated us on the status of various points related to COVID-19 in Collin County and Plano, including availability of hospital beds & hospital staff (doing good here!) and other stats around cases, recoveries, etc.
He spoke very highly of our Plano Fire and Police, reminding us that they are world class. (but we knew that, right?)
We also received praises for his talk after the fact. One honorary member, Joy Hinkelman, from Wellness Center for Older Adults in Plano, said the following:
"All I can say is WOW! I have “attended” multiple Zoom sessions seeking a method of filtering and navigating the overwhelming data that is plaguing the media. The Chief’s presentation was by far the most informative and helpful session I have participated in. Chief’s message was absolutely impressive!!! I am very appreciative for the opportunity to hear his message today!"
