 The City of Frederick would
like to extend a sincere thank you to the community for your patience
as we deal with aftermath of this challenging snow event. The warnings
from the National Weather Service were heeded and preparations were made
well in advance by the City and the community.
The
City Snow Team worked 24/7 for days clearing massive amounts of snow as
well as providing assistance to emergency services and keeping snow
emergency routes clear.
Kudos to the City Snow Team, citizens and businesses for working together.
"Coming together is the beginning, Keeping together is progress, Working together is success" - Henry Ford

The FLU is here!
What You Should Know about this Flu Season
|
|
The CDC and the State of Maryland have issued a bulletin indicating that the flu is now widespread within our area.
The best defense against the flu is the seasonal flu shot and the reports are that this year's vaccine is offering good protection. If you did not already get your flu shot medical professionals are saying that it is not too late. Many
health insurance plans cover the flu shot 100% and certain pharmacies
offer shopping discounts for patients receiving the vaccine.
