Medical Personal Protective Equipment-The Clubs in District 7980 will provide it

Plan for Disaster Grant

District 7980, Southern Connecticut has been awarded a Rotary International Disaster Grant.

The grant is for $25,000. The plan is to buy Medical Personal Protective Equipment and provide it to the clubs for them to provide to the organizations in their town, (nursing homes, funeral homes, police, fire, EMS, supermarket workers, healthcare workers, etc.)

Many clubs will obtain flat masks(surgical masks) from the donation by an East Hampton Rotarian.

From this new disaster grant we will make available

KN95 masks -a total of 2500

Nitrile protective rubber gloves  20,000

Protective gowns     2000

NK95 medical mask

Proposal for each club

50        KN95

400       rubber gloves

40        protective gowns

However each club can adjust the amount they take based on the needs in their town, within reason.

The above Medical Protective Equipment will be at Paul Mangels shop in MIlford( 80A Rowe Avenue in Milford). You will be able to pick it up with Social Distancing. Also if any club cannot arrange to pick it up in Milford, I will arrange for periodic distribution points around our District.
