Assisted Living Community Livens Up Coronavirus Restrictions With Best Mask Contests

The St. Francis Villa Assisted Living community in River Ridge, La., is holding a mask-making contest to encourage residents to wear protective face coverings during the pandemic, reports WWL-TV . The community's marketing director, Lauralee Adams, has contacted residents' families, asking them to assist in this endeavor. Participants include resident Bette Knott, whose granddaughter crafted a Betty Boop mask, and fellow resident Joyce Yrle, who has a mask featuring the letter J fashioned from jewels by her own granddaughter. The community is posting pictures of the masks on Facebook for people to vote on the best one. The voting will continue until Friday.
