ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — With no active COVID-19 cases in the valley as of July 3, the community group that has guided the region through the pandemic is taking the month off.
The Androscoggin Valley Community Group will resume meeting in August on a bimonthly basis although Coos County Family Health Service CEO Ken Gordon said the group can meet sooner if circumstances warrant.
