There were unique challenges presented this year with social distancing in place and no print publication, but the staff embraced the opportunity and provided our readers with answers, distinct voices and vibrant images from within their community. It took dedication and determination; everyone who was a part of The Clipper over the past year should be beaming with pride.

Thank you to our readers for your continued support in these unprecedented times and allowing us to serve you.
