In March, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peace Island Volunteers organized a mask-making project that would eventually include over 50 individuals making more than 4,400 masks.
The sewers were dubbed the Masketeers.
Like the Musketeers, their efforts were helping to protect their community from the COVID saboteur.
For the past eight months, Peace Island Volunteers and the Masketeers have continued making masks for Peace Island Medical Center patients and others in the community requesting them.
Peace Island Volunteers supports and promotes health care services provided by Peace Island Medical Center in the San Juan County community.
