BRIDGTON Bridgton-Lake Region Club received 750 children’s face coverings one week after receiving 5,000 adult masks.
The distribution was made possible again through the New England Rotarians and the Rossi Foundation. The free protective face masks must be distributed to community groups that request them. During Round I, the local Rotary Club distributed them to police and fire departments, the Bridgton Community Center and to food pantry volunteers.

After each meeting, I walked away with new solutions and ideas to help get us through these unusual times. It indeed takes a village.
