tour bus stopped at White Plains High School on Thursday to deliver thousands
of masks to essential workers.

idea is being dubbed the Million Mask

Rotarians across the Northeast.

Governor Mary Shackleton of Rotary International District 7230 distributed 300,000 masks in
Westchester County and throughout New York City.
"These masks are going to go to some of
the underserved communities, food pantries, public housing,” says Shackleton.
“So that the people who really need them, have protection."
The
tour ends Thursday night. Distributors have traveled more than 700 miles
through 14 cities within four
days.
