Mask Distribution Discussed
Nineteen Rotarians joined this week’s virtual meeting hosted by President Eddie. The first portion of the meeting featured a discussion of how to distribute the masks that we now have in our possession. Our priority is to provide and people connected to Rotarians with the masks on hand. One suggestion was giving some of them to People’s Health and Wellness to distribute. It was pointed out that people need to know that these masks are washable. Ted described a process being used by his business using plastic bags containing masks and information on washing them. After a few more comments on the population we should be serving, it was decided to post a notice on Front Porch Forum. President Eddie will take responsibility for doing this.
Recognizing Spaulding High School Seniors
Caroline and Tony reported on an initiative to recognize the Spaulding High School seniors with a photo banner affixed to the street light posts in downtown Barre. Caroline and Tony will gather more information so that we can determine our kind and level of support.

Lest We Forget: From The Bulletin April 13, 1931:
Rotary is just an attempt on the part of Paul Harris, to take the village to the city- to bring each other together in fellowship. To give them the chance to call each other by the first name.
