[Libs-Or] Face Masks

Wed May 6 13:14:45 PDT 2020

Three people on my staff sew and they are quilters so they have the tightly
woven fabric on hand. I supplied them with several acceptable
double-layered design templates, most of them with a floral wire insert
across the nose bridge. Most everyone prefers masks that tie to ones with
elastic. I paid them their hourly wage for the work. They came up with a
price for materials per mask ($1.50) and I gave them an invoice to fill
out. I calculated that each person on staff should have 4 masks. The three
sewing employees each did 1/3 of our total need. Just in case anyone else
has similar talent on their staff or in their municipality. Some staff are
still choosing to supply their own or supplement with other masks but I
committed to commissioning four washable masks per person on staff. I am
requiring staff to wear masks for the foreseeable future. We are working
inside our building together, physically distanced, and we're also doing a
home delivery service.
