With the requirement to wear face coverings when in a public place and social distancing needed, the Antioch Mask Brigade has recently donated a supply of masks to both ACHS and Lakes. The group was organized by Anna Fielder (Haley) who graduated from ACHS in 1998. Linda Zeman, retired ACHS teacher, is also part of this group, as is student services secretary Stephanie Geiger. Here are some stats on how this awesome group of people have impacted our community—
The current numbers: Over 37,000 masks 31 football fields of fabric 145 football fields of elastic
The Antioch Mask Brigade’s mission is to continue providing masks for as long as possible, through donations. This SEW-tastic crew goes long hours, 16 hours a day, to keep pace. All of their time, talents and energies are donated, including the masks; nothing sold. Please consider donating on their GoFundMe page. You can also find a list of where their donations have made an impact.
