April 10. Visit Lake Norman, the convention and visitors bureau based in Cornelius, has launched a Lake Norman Virtual Tip Jar for service industry workers who have been severely impacted by the economic effects of COVID-19. You can share this link below to any service staff that you may know that has been laid off or furloughed and encourage them to sign up in order to receive tips via Venmo or Cash App. VLN officials hope that every time you have a drink or eat at home during social distancing you might tip a local service industry worker via the site. Each time you refresh the page you can support a new person.
