Celebrate National Friendship Day was July 30th. However, we can celebrate this day any day. During this time, struggling to be safe and social distancing, it’s nice to have a friend.  Even it is just to talk on the phone or perhaps do a Zoom or Skype  call.  We all need human contact.

Reminding our friends that mean a lot to us, is important for us and for them. So create a card for them and then send it in the mail.
