PLUS: in our Focus Segment this week, we have a discussion with the newly elected president of the Greater Middle Country Chamber of Commerce, Lenore Paprocky and chat about what the future will bring for the chamber and how important it is for small businesses to become a member of their local chamber, especially in this time of coronavirus.

It's Sara's turn to pick a movie for Movie Chat, and this week it's Freaks starring Emile Hirsch and Bruce Dern.
