Dear Readers,
Beginning today we will no longer transmit our Treasure Coast Business e-newsletter on a daily basis. When we temporarily changed the e-newsletter’s schedule from weekly to daily on March 16 because of the onset of the coronavirus pandemic we did so to help provide readers news about Treasure Coast businesses and their changes in hours and services or temporary closures because of social distancing restrictions and the stay-at-home order. Now that many businesses have reopened and the stay-at-home order for the Treasure Coast has been lifted, we will return to our weekly schedule and will publish more frequently as needed. If you want to continue following daily statistics for our area you can find them on the Department of Health’s dashboard and you can find other reports at https://floridahealthcovid19.gov
Thank you once again for your support. Your response has been both heartening and enlightening and the new schedule will enable us to enhance our future digital offerings. If you are a reader and have suggestions for improving service or if you are a business with news to report please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or 772.940.9005. Stay healthy and stay in touch.
Best,
Gregory Enns, Publisher
Indian River Magazine and Treasure Coast Business

HOMETOWN HERO
By MaryAnn Ketcham
|
|
Managing a Facebook page can be daunting at times, especially an active one that has over 17,000 members who want the most up to date information. Without fanfare, Danielle Wynkoop administers the Vero Beach Neighborhood, Inc. page, a significant resource for Vero Beach residents and others, especially during times of difficulty such as hurricanes and the current Coronavirus crisis.
Thanks to Wynkoop's efforts, the page contains a wealth of information for people seeking staples such as toilet paper, sanitizing agents, masks, food, and more. Additionally, local restaurants may, at no charge during the crisis, post whether they remain open as well as provide pick-up and/or delivery information.
Promoting Vero's small businesses, connecting people with much-needed services such as check-ins with elderly residents, and more, the page adds a layer of comfort during a time of uncertainty.
Most importantly, Vero Beach Neighborhood, Inc.'s Facebook page helps keep up local morale as a forum where opinions can be voiced, viewed, complaints can be shared, and ideas about how to survive the quarantine while managing a smile can, hopefully, go viral!
Thanks to the countless number of hours spent presiding over posts, comments, and questions, Wynkoop and her team of moderators continue to keep Vero Beach connected.
