How to Safely Cover Your Face Outside of Home

Governor Baker has issued an Order effective Wednesday, May 6 requiring face masks or cloth face coverings in public places where social distancing is not possible. This applies to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Exceptions include children under the age of 2 and those unable to wear a mask or face covering due to a medical condition. Read the full DPH Guidance .

It is critical to emphasize that social distancing measures remain in effect and keeping 6 feet apart from others remains important to slowing the spread of the virus.

Learn more about wearing face coverings and cloth masks in public, including fact sheets in multiple languages.

From The Town of Mashpee

ASGCC will be hosting a virtual OEND training for anyone in the community who may benefit from learning about overdose prevention and overdose response. We will cover about 40 minutes of information reviewing the definition of an overdose, risk factors that can put someone at higher risk of experiencing an overdose, how to respond, and how to use Narcan. The session will end with time for questions as well as information on how to access Narcan.

This virtual training will take place weekly on Tuesdays at 2pm. Information on how to join can be found below.

At Cape Abilities, we are all family, and family helps one another. We need your help…we simply cannot do what we do without you.

As we are staying in our homes and socially distancing ourselves to reduce the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, many of our less-visible but most vulnerable neighbors living in our resident homes across the Cape are in especially challenging positions. So far, you have donated more than $95,000 to our Adopt A Home appeal, and that generous support helped us bridge the financial gap last week alone. And yet, the stark reality is that as long as this challenge is in front of us, we have to keep going, because our residents and staff need our help.

Today, the 130 residents in Cape Abilities homes are fully dependent upon the men and women who live with them, providing them with care and emotional support every day, around the clock. Each of these special staff members make the difficult choice to leave their families in order to live with our residents who depend upon them…and we need to ensure that they will be compensated for their extraordinary commitment.

You can help us meet this unbudgeted need during this crisis by choosing to help Adopt A Home with any gift amount!

From The Women’s Club of New Seabury:

During these difficult times, the Women’s Club Executive Board has been busy continuing to support our Cape Cod community.

Our generous members answered our request for contributions so that we could continue to donate to local agencies that provide food for the needy. Thanks to members’ open hearts, we were able to donate over $6,500.00 to the food pantries of Christ the King/St. Vincent de Paul and the Falmouth Service Center. A sincere thank you to all who donated.

Attention all movie lovers - we are excited to start our "Last Monday Movie Discussion Group." This (virtual) group meets via Zoom on the last Monday of every month to discuss a popular movie, documentary or series. All films are available through the Mashpee Library's movie streaming service, Kanopy.

For our first meeting, on July 27 at 4pm, we will be discussing the Hitchcock classic, "Dial M for Murder." This 1954 thriller tells the story of ex-tennis pro Tony Wendice and his plan to have his cheating wife killed. He recruits acquaintance Charles Swann into helping him, but their plan goes terribly wrong. Can Wendice weasel his way out of his "perfect crime"? Starring Ray Miland, Grace Kelly and Robert Cummings this suspenseful favorite promises an entertaining and insightful discussion.

Ready to join in? Call us at 508-539-1435 or email mpl_mail@clamsnet.org to sign up and we will send you an email with the Zoom login information.

If you are interested in joining but unfamiliar with Kanopy please contact us, we are happy to provide instructions to get you started.
