 Hello, Columbia, and welcome to This Week in the City. I'm your host, Alicia Utsi. We are bringing you highlights from the public relations, media, and marketing department. This week in the city, please be reminded that the City of Columbia has a mask mandate that went into effect on September 8th, 2021. You must wear a mask within the city limits. To review the ordinance, please visit our website at columbiasc.gov. We've also developed a mask FAQ, a frequently asked questions document that can help you with some of the questions and answers. You can find that document on our website at columbiasc.gov, as well as our social media platforms on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can also find that document on our award-winning Resilient Columbia Micro-Site. On that Micro-Site, you can also find information regarding vaccinations. We want to remind all citizens that it is very important that you not only mask up, but also get vaccinated against COVID-19. This is also the week for the Mayor's Breast Cancer Awareness, Isabella Law Breakfast. This annual fundraiser will be held on Friday, October 1st from 8am until 10pm in the parking lot at City Hall, located at 1737 Main Street. Please be advised that this year, due to the pandemic, the City of Columbia will be observing COVID-19 safety protocols during the breakfast event. There will also be some logistical changes to enhance the safety of the public. Tickets are now on sale for $10 each. They can be purchased at City Hall at 1737 Main Street from 8.30am until 5pm on Monday through Friday. Also, T-shirts are on sale to help with this fundraising effort. T-shirts are $15 and can also be purchased at City Hall, located at 1737 Main Street from 8.30am to 5pm on Monday through Friday. For more information, please call 803-545-3045.

This year's walk will be virtual, but that doesn't mean that everything is virtual. We have, in reality, yard signs that you can place at your business or at your home. We also have posters, which we have available for you, that you can put up to help us promote the upcoming walk, which is on Saturday, October 9th, 2021. Also, we have ribbons and other swag, just waiting for you to register now. For those who register, you will get all these items, along with some other surprises. Please support us in stamping out domestic violence in our community. You may register at columbiasc.gov. You will also register on Eventbrite and also on the City of Columbia's Facebook page. Again, registration is free and now open for our annual Walk Against Domestic Violence coming up on Saturday, October 9th. Well, Columbia, that wraps up this week in the City.
