On June 26, 2020, the Rancho Santa Margarita Branch participated in making face masks to be donated to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California. In total, over 50 masks were made, washed, and delivered.
The activity first required 6 yards of fabric and elastic strings, bought from Joann Fabric stores. On the day of, members cut the fabric into 20×20 squares, ironed the squares into pleated patterns, and sewed the masks to the strings. From there, they were washed, re-ironed, and donated.
This not only allowed students to give back to the community but also promoted collaboration between members. Members present: Katie, Allison, Diana, Amanda, Jane, Eva, Stella, Ethan, Steven, Jasmine, and April. Video
