Fourth of July Reminder!

July 3, 2023

As a reminder, all offices will be closed on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, in observance of the Independence Day holiday.  Our offices will reopen on Wednesday, July 5, 2023.

Independence Day commemorates our country’s declaration of independence from British rule on July 4, 1776.  It marks the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation, a symbol of freedom, democracy, and equality.   It’s a time to appreciate the blessings of living in a land of opportunity.

Wishing you a joyful and safe Independence Day!
