On Friday, February 19, our Community Service Chair, Shelly Romine sent a blast email to the Mesa West members letting them know about a very generous mask distribution event that would be taking place Tuesday, February 23. The primary purpose of the email was to let Rotarians know of the opportunity in case any members knew of individuals or groups in need of masks.Bob Zarling had let Shelly know about the opportunity which he became aware of because of his connection to the Mesa Salvation Army - one of the distribution sites. Bob and Penny May, a regular visiting Rotarian from Alaska (Pre-COVID), are shown in the photo helping with the distribution safely giving the masks to occupants of cars as they drove though.
There were several other sites where masks were being distributed thanks to the generosity of the Ford Motor Company Fund.
