The club has initiated a project to support the community during the Coronavirus epidemic by manufacturing face masks for distribution to people in the Wyndham area. Through two generous donations, we were able to purchase some of the scarce supplies of fabric and elastic.
Rotarians, partners and friends of Rotary, better known as the Cut Giggle and Sew group, have been involved in cutting and sewing up a storm. The first 70 masks have been delivered to Uniting Wyndham for distribution to their clients but we still have a way to go to meet our aim of 500 masks. We would welcome more sewers to assist if they have any spare time.
Despite the fact that the team is working in isolation due to the Covid19 lockdown, they are still engaging with each other and embracing the opportunity to help others through this difficult time.
