Message from our Board President, Joel Girard; "I would like to start out by saying that I hope this finds you all well and staying safe."

Our Board members have decided NOT to sell an April issue of our street newspaper.

In following the Governor Tony Evers order to stay ‘Safer at Home”, we feel that this is the best policy for the community and our vendors.

We know that this might create confusion or hardships, but we need to think about keeping our family of vendors as safe as possible, so we can all emerge from this crisis stronger as well as safely.--Joel Girard, Street Pulse President
