WE ARE #SLOTOGETHER: WEEK OF MAY 15

Posted May 15

Today we are thankful for a community that continues to offer love and support during these trying times. Being able to give back and support local businesses during this crisis is what will help our community come out of this stronger. We encourage you to stay engaged and continue to share how you are staying #SLOTogether by using the hashtag on social media. Below are a few of our favorite #SLOTogether stories from the week. 

F-15C Fighter Jets flyover SLO to honor healthcare workers.

On Wednesday morning, the 144th Fighter Wing California Air National Guard flew four F-15C Fighter Jets over SLO to salute healthcare workers. The jets flew out of Fresno and over the Central Coast, making their appearance in San Luis Obispo around 11:30am. Big shoutout to all of SLO’s healthcare workers. We appreciate you!
