Mike: Hi, I’m Michael Werner with Ham Radio in the Tennessee Valley News. Jenny: Hi, I’m Jenny Lux with People First of Huntsville, a disability advocacy organization. Mike: We’re talking about three ways you can show the love to others. Jenny: We know this is a difficult and unsure time, but we have some ideas to make things better. Mike: #1 - Stay in contact with your family and friends with phone and video chatting. Jenny: Being able to reach out in this way can ease your feelings of tension and anxiety. Mike: #2 - If you know of resources, please be sure to spread the news. Jenny: This could be as simple as baking for your neighbors or spreading the news of a new food pantry. Mike: #3 - If you go out, wearing a mask is the best way to show the love. Jenny: This is showing the love for others as well as protecting yourself!!! Mike: Please be sure to give us a like and share with your friends. Jenny: Also, use the hashtags #showthelove and #wearamask to support our cause. Thank You!!...
