9. Be Part of the Turning Tide

Here’s to all Texarkanians who are stepping up and leading the way to turn around our region’s concerning economic reality by wearing masks. Texarkanians want this virus to go away, but for something to change, someone(s) somewhere have to do something different. We all want different results!  If we want a new reality, we’ll need to be the change we want to see.  “If we always do what we’ve always done, we’ll always get what we’ve always gotten.”  Read more here.
