We will break into small groups to enjoy some
informal conversation. Please consider
sharing something about yourself based on
one or both of the following questions:
1. What person or experience most
influenced my desire to put service above self
in my life?
2. I chose another path and it made all the
difference.
Face Mask Challenge Port Townsend has been
sewing and distributing free, high quality cloth face
masks for Jefferson County since the very beginning
of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Libby Wennstrom is one
of 3 volunteer admins organizing this effort.
- 50+ "masketeers" have sewn and given away over
9,500 masks since March 2020
- Rotary grant funding allowed us to make over
2,400 kid-size masks - handed out to 1,200 students
at every school in the county last fall
- All our masks are free; any donations or grants go
back into more supplies (elastic, toggles, thread,
fabric)
- We work closely with County Dept. of Emergency
Management to get masks where they're most
needed
