Describe the specific steps your organization took to comply with Executive Order 117. To comply with the executive order, the business opening was postponed. For the safety of our team and community and because we couldn't afford to rent the building with no way to have anyone inside of the space we decided to postpone the opening until this fall. We were very lucky that the landlord held the space for us. Please explain the impact of your organization on the Orange County community in a typical year.
