Eagle Scout Project
In the world of Scouting, earning the prestigious Eagle Scout Award is accomplished with hard work, determination, compassion for others, and a generous nature. One of our community's scouts has just completed his Eagle Scout Project (a large component of the award). He orchestrated the production of 1,000 masks and delivered them to local organizations on the front line! One
of our other Affiliated Organizations, Council on Aging, received 200 of these masks to help their staff, volunteers, and clients.

We were also on the receiving end of this good deed and have about 100 masks available to anyone in need.
Neighbors Sewing -4- Your Health
Handmade masks are now the norm. Some of us find ourselves complimenting others on the print or style of their mask, rather than their clothes, shoes, or hairstyle as we have historically done. So many residents have taken up a new position as seamstress at home and are donating them for our essential workers and neighbors who are unable to make their own.

Two such women are Michelle from Country Style Market Place and Joyce from Blue Water Area Chamber of Commerce. They recently donated around 50 adult and child-sized masks for us to pass out. Thank you, Ladies, for your generosity!
Need a mask? Call our office to schedule a pick-up.

As a result, we have a few pages on our website dedicated to COVID-19 related needs. Please check out these pages and share them as you see fit. Thank you!
