    Masks:

    As of Friday, April 3, 2020, Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine are encouraging all Pennsylvanians to wear masks when in public.  The goal is to essentially cover your nose and mouth.  There are a variety of patterns on the internet and YouTube.  Whatever pattern you choose, please be safe and stay healthy.  Remember that YOU MATTER!
