JoAnn Gregoli, a career social event planner from Sparta, saw the need for hospital masks surge due to the encroaching novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and is looking to replenish the stock. And she is looking for help.

Ways to help:

Make Facemasks:

What you will need (source Atlantic Health):

• A tightly woven cotton, such as a dress shirt, sheet, or similar material, for the front layer.

• Softer cotton, such as flannel, for the back layer.

• Rope elastic, beading cord elastic will work (you may also us 1/8” flat elastic)

• Cut the elastic 7” long and tie a knot at each end (DO NOT knot the ends of the flat)
