Huge Hat Tip to a Local Making Masks

A huge hat tip to Jeanne Hilpert Koebel, from the hamlet of Adirondack, who has been busy for the last several days sewing up a storm: dozens of masks for those who need protection while out and about.

Here’s more from Jeanne:

Hi, I’m happy to be able to do something for my friends and community. I was asked by our Outreach Coordinator from Schroon Lake Community Church to make some. I understand they most likely can’t be used by a hospital, but would give some protection for people who have to be out. Some are being given to our workers at the food pantry and to others who must be face to face with people.

There are many tutorials on line, I put some of those together for my own use. I am using three layers of cotton for an extra layer of protection. This is keeping me busy. I’m thankful I have most of the supplies to do this. Just ordered elastic from Amazon. Hopefully will receive it by April 2nd and made in the USA!”

Thank you Jeanne!!!
