No public Sunday church service? No problem.
The Icon invites churches to send links to live stream, websites and Facebooks that show Sunday services broadcasts. The Icon will post all links received.
Also, churches may send any additional church-related news for publication. We will accept pdfs of church newsletters and Sunday bulletins.
A note from Mandy Kinn of Spectrum Salon:
We are staying in contact with our clients, and as soon as we re-open, we will be working to re-schedule every client's appointment. Check our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates.
Bluffton Community Assistance Program’s food pantry is preparing for Saturday’s pantry distribution in a new way, according to Ed Yeager, board president.
“For the safety of our clients, volunteers have pre-packaged food bags for pickup on Saturday,” he said. “The pre-packaged food will be distributed beginning at 8 a.m. on Saturday once clients arrive.”
The food bags contain the same amount of pantry items that are available each month, it’s just that this month volunteers made the selections rather than clients.
It is the school's mission to find the balance between providing a solid education and not overly burdening our students as they learn outside the traditional supports that are provided by a face-to-face setting
The following letter is on the Bluffton school website:
As we move into a new form of teaching and learning, Bluffton Schools are looking to provide the very best education possible to our students.
Our approaches will not be perfect, but please be assured that we will work hard and continue to improve and eventually excel at our new delivery formats.
A Go Fund Me page was established today (March 19) to help Bluffton businesses and employees. Its goal is $25,000. Several local individuals have organized the page. The explanation follows:
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced that the Treasury Department has pushed back the April 15, 2020, tax payment deadline by 90 days.
This will give businesses and individuals additional time, potentially lessening cash-flow issues that many are facing. However, there is no extension of the April 15 filing deadline.
The filing due date for 2019 individual and corporate income tax returns remains unchanged. Traditional extensions are still available for those needing more time to file a return.

If the last couple days are any indication, I’m in for a very bumpy, noisy, hectic ride. Parents across the state are scrambling to find childcare and/or helping their children accomplish learning at home, all whilst preparing for the possibility of enforced isolation from the coronavirus.

These are challenging times.
Like everyone, you are concerned about keeping your family safe and healthy, and you’re doing your part to help protect your community from the effects of the coronavirus.
And if you’re an investor, you must also address your financial situation. How should you respond to the current market volatility and recent declines in investment prices?
The health and safety of our customers and staff at the Bluffton Public Library is a top priority, therefore the library has made the difficult decision to close from March 17, 2020 through at least April 6.
We ask that all patrons with library materials currently checked out keep the items at home rather than return them.
