This thank-you effort, initiated and led by Maureen Magee and Bev Ringenberg, began on Sunday, April 5, 2020, at the Cedar Key City Hall front door.  

Operating six feet apart, of course, and wearing masks, Magee and Ringenberg set up preconstructed and preprinted sandwich boards thanking city staff. Enlisting several others and an obedient pooch, still apart and masked, the duo tied ribbons everywhere possible, carefully placing them so they would be seen as staff enters City Hall Monday morning.

As Magee climbed her ladder to decorate an oak, she commented, “I’m so happy to be doing this!” Ringenberg hopes “that everyone can express this/her appreciation through this Tie a Ribbon effort.”

Every color, every material, every unused piece of cloth imaginable was solicited and cut into the right length for the effort. The result is a plastic bin placed on the porch of City Hall, full of plastic, cloth, printed, ribbed, light, heavy, and more kinds of ribbons. They are there for you.

Choose one and tie it somewhere around City Hall. Or bring your own ribbon. Write a note upon it if you wish.

Be certain to sanitize your hands when you do; sanitizer is located on the porch, should you not have your own.
