With an especially unique summer coming to a close, many of our plans took a detour. Tropical vacations turned urban staycations, tailgating with friends became binge watching with pets, and family reunions were replaced with Zoom conferences.

Some of us here at Chevron FCU started writing books we’ve kept on the backburner for years, built benches for the backyard from scratch, or even learned to bake our own bread. We made the best of our quarantine time, and we’d love to hear from you. How did you spend your summer?
