“We encourage the public to nominate a grocery clerk, food industry workers, delivery persons, nurse, police officer, fire rescue person, anyone who you noticed stayed safe and helped others while doing their essential job during this Covid-19 Pandemic in Williston,” said Bruce Conway Williston Rotarian.
