Maggie’s Masks

Just as you made a celebratory basketball toss in your wastebasket, face masks are again required in San Juan County. If you no longer have masks or need more, Orcas Senior Center has free masks available to seniors (contact Jami Mitchell at 360-376-7926 orjamim@orcasseniors.org). In addition, Maggie Kaplan is still hard at work handmaking masks. You can pick up Maggie’s masks from her carport at 158 Palisades Drive in the Rosario area. If you’re interested in a more “unique” variety of Maggie’s masks, visit Orcas Arts & Gifts at 245 Main Street. Donations for these masks support Orcas Senior Center.
