Million Mask Challenge Tour, Take 2
Rotary Club of Bellport participates in the Million Mask Challenge Tour, Take 2!
On January 13, the “Million Masks Challenge, Take 2” traveled from New England to New York to Long Island’s Rotary District 7255. This Northeast regional Rotary project began with Mr. Ted Rossi, a Rotarian in Connecticut and the CEO of the Rossi Group, a well-known leader in the American hardwood industry. Mr. Rossi turned to his team with international logistics and sourcing capabilities and was able to obtain over 8 million PPE masks to be distributed throughout Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New York
Rotary District 7255, under the leadership of District Governor, Jacquelyn Yonick, obtained 350,000 adults masks and 16,000 children masks to be distributed to 41 Rotary Clubs in Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Members of these Rotary Clubs then redistributes the masks to those in need within their respective communities.
The Rotary Club of Bellport was pleased to be able to participate and this week had the opportunity to once again accomplish “Service Above Self” by delivering 4,800 masks to soup kitchens, youth and adult shelters, libraries, and children educational organizations throughout our Patchogue, Bellport, Brookhaven community.
