Our Sewing People are at it again!

I heard that our sewing people have been busy at work making masks to donate to those in need.  With all the charity work these gals provide, it doesn't surprise me that even without their sewing room, they're able to contribute.  It makes me proud to have them as residents at Palm Creek!!

Here's the message I received from Kary:

Hi Sue, was talking with Renee and she mentioned you'd like photos of the masks we've been doing.

It started last Thursday when Maureen mentioned it at a meeting we were in to make masks. I'd said then that I'd read where medical facilities didn't want the masks as they weren't protective enough. Then the next day they decided they could use them over their now rationed masks as an extra layer of protection even over the N95 masks. Well then I made a few contacts and had a couple of guild members who had contacts, then I got the ball rolling by contacting as many members through our private FB Page. The result is in a week 96 masks were made this week. 70 + went to Banner Urgent Care and 20 to Oasis Pavilion Senior Care.

Banner Hospital got back to us this week and they need all 100% Cotton ones with ties not elastic, so we're working on those. We're thinking at least 500.

People can drop the masks in a box I have on my front porch at 1268. I'll get them to the needed facilities. The need for masks could be huge here. I know some members are sending masks on to their families that are on the front lines in their medical facilities. Which is great too!

It's been so fun seeing the masks and my heart sings for our PC Sewing and Quilt Guild. So very proud of them.

I'll send pics in just a sec.

Thanks You,

Kary
