Face masks delivered
Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club delivered 1,200 face masks to Lake Region High School on March 24, just in time for the students’ return to full-time, in-person learning. Hundreds of masks were also delivered the same day to Stevens Elementary School, as well as to the Bridgton fire and police departments, public library and community center.
This was the third and final phase of the Rotary’s Million Mask Challenge, which ran from October 2020 to March 2021. To date, the Bridgton-Lake Region Club has distributed approximately 10,000 face masks throughout the region.
Public entities and nonprofits in Denmark, Harrison, Naples and Sweden that need masks should reach out to the Rotary Club at LakeRegionRotary@gmail.com.
