Stratford Rotary promotes COVID Mask Project

Rotary Club of Stratford's Rotary Covid Mask Project is working to help everyone wear a mask in public, and to promote mask use.

The committee and a team of sewers have made and sold over 2500 masks as a fundraiser.

Spokesman Ken Nesbitt says as the economy reopens, it is more important than ever to reinforce the message, Finish the Task Wear the Mask.

The club continues to work to spread the word about masks, and the need to continue physical distancing, hand washing and other health directives.

Nesbitt says they are working to provide free or subsidized reusable, eco-friendly masks to disadvantaged and needy people, along with community charities, while providing community employment.
