“I Can Ask”
Chair Fay Christian opened the Operations Advisory Committee on February 12th, reading out member names from a prepared sheet that omitted Melissa Wade. It didn’t feel intentional, but it struck me as odd precisely because it came from something prepared. Lydia Tang gently corrected her, noting that Wade was, in fact, a member of the committee. Wade met the moment with grace, or perhaps she simply wasn’t bothered by it.

This is great news and again thank you to AM Seawright for filling Covid support gaps where RIOC continue to fail completely.
Recognition should also be extended to our local Duane Reade / Walgreens who continue to provide Moderna 1st, 2nd and booster shots (including Moderna as a mixed booster) every day of the week.
Rebecca is one of the most publically oriented electeds, and here, she’s done solid work again. Got all three of my shots at Duane Reade and each were handled with professionalism as the highest.
