LYME/OLD LYME — The Old Lyme Visiting Nurse Association is holding a drive-through face mask distribution event on Thursday, Aug. 20, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for residents of Lyme and Old Lyme. The event will be held at the Lyme-Old Lyme High School, 69 Lyme St,, Old Lyme.
Lyme and Old Lyme residents must show proof of residency and will receive five free face masks per car. This is a drive-up event, where drivers will be directed by signage and volunteers to a pick-up station in the High School driveway curbside while supplies last.
With more businesses opening and the State requirements regarding the use of facial coverings in public spaces, this is an opportunity to ensure all residents have access to this vital personal protective equipment.
This event is sponsored by the Old Lyme Visiting Nurse Association, which serves both Lyme and Old Lyme, with assistance from Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau, Lyme Emergency Management, and Old Lyme Emergency Management.
