AN OPEN LETTER TO THE Allendale Community
Our world is changing rapidly. Undoubtedly, the day you read this in April will look very di�erent than the day I wrote it in March. Even with the changes that will occur between then and now, there is something I wanted to share with you about my observations over the last couple of weeks that I know will be even more true as you read them today. For what it's worth... I am proud of you, Allendale. The strength you've shown individually and collectively is inspiring. You should be proud of you too. In a time when physical distancing is meant to keep us apart, you've drawn near to each other in so many other ways. -You've faced di�cult circumstances and an unknown future with optimism and bravery.
-You've checked on your friends and neighbors and provided for them in their time of need. -You've met challenging situations head on with ingenuity, determination and resolve. -You've responded to the call for personal protection equipment for our essential workers with generous donations both purchased and handmade. -You've rallied behind our local businesses and organizations with graciousness and support. -You've filtered through a constant stream of information to protect your health and the health of others. -You've adopted 15 years worth of new technologies over night to keep systems and learning afloat. -You've shown vulnerability and reached out when you needed help. -You've done hard things in the last month, Allendale. And you've done it well.
We won't know the extent of the economic damage until the dust settles and we can figure out our new normal. There is no doubt we will have a long, hard road ahead of us to rebuild what was lost and broken during this time. I am, however, certain that collectively Allendale will answer the call to action, whatever that may be, and rise to greatness. We will link arms and show the same resiliency we've shown over the last couple of weeks. In the end, we will come out of this stronger than we were before because that is who we are when we work together as a community.
We are #AllendaleStrong and I am so very proud of you.
Sincerely, Janessa Smit Executive Director Allendale Area Chamber of Commerce

Q: Are fake eyelashes or eyelash extensions safe?A: As with everything, there is a certain level of risk whenever working with a chemical near your eye. I do not recommend doing them yourself. If you really want them, I advise working with an experienced esthetician who uses veri�ed products. This will help reduce the risk, but not eliminate it.Problems that can arise are allergic reactions/contact dermatitis of the lid, lid in�ammation/irritation, and styes. There is also a risk of a chemical burn or abrasion to the cornea if the glue or metallic based liner touches your eye. Safety tips include:
The most important thing is the safety of your eyes, so if you ever have any concerns, getting into your eye doctor sooner versus later is advised.
Got questions? Just Ask! Email us [email protected]
- Use partial strips instead of ones that cover the full lash line.
- Use glue that does not have formaldehyde.- Take breaks & replace every 2-4 weeks.- Put a small amount of the glue/adhesive on your wrist before application to make sure you are not allergic.
- Clean your lids with over the counter hypochlorous acid eyelid cleanser. It will clean the lashes without dissolving the glue.
