A note from the publisher

As we all continue to deal with the fallout and effects of the threat of the coronavirus, we know that accurate information is needed by our readers. We, at "The Steel Country Bee", as always, are committed to bringing this information to our readers and community.

Our staff of professional editors and reporters are using a variety of channels ---our website, social media, email newsletters, and news alerts-- to keep the community up to date on this rapidly changing situation.

Our hope is that readers will use us as their trusted source as we all try to make the most of this very difficult situation.

We have been with this community for over 50 years, through good times and bad, and we will continue to serve our community to the best of our abilities. We will deal with our own challenges and your continued support of local journalism will strengthen our efforts. Your continued readership and patronization of all of Northeast Texas Publishing Company products are deeply appreciated.

Bless all of you and your families as we all come together as a community to help one another.
