Athol Lions Club President (King Lion) Joshua Grosky presents 30 face shields, a gift from the Lions Club, to Firefighter Roger Spring of the New Salem Fire Department. The money used to purchase the masks came from a $10,000 grant from the Lions District 33A in Massachusetts and has gone to provide masks for emergency personnel throughout the district. The grant was coordinated for the area by Past District Gov. Tim DeVault, and the masks were created by the Harvard, Mass. Lions Club with a 3-D printer. Photo/Mitchell R. Grosky
