Courtney Maxson: It’s going great. Thanks.
Matt Brooks: All right. Well we, last month we talked a lot about ways to mitigate cancer from this healthy practices, especially in the summer where you need to have your, the sun lotion and all that such. And through the series we’re talking about. Resources for people to get ahold of, specifically you about like getting cancer screenings and such.
But I hear there’s actually, uh, something coming up in the next, uh, 24 hours where people can really meet the people and these resources that are available to those in Cortland County.
Courtney Maxson: Yes, it’s gonna be great. Um, on August 7th, which is tomorrow, um, is our community beach party. Um, and that is going to go from four to seven at Yaman Park Beach.
