SEATTLE AREA MINI OWNERS ASSOCIATION – APRIL, 2021
Regalia
Facemasks are now available
The design of a SAMOA facemask was discussed during several Zoom monthly meetings and the final criteria was established;
Multi-layered
SAMOA or Mini-related artwork
Cotton
Adjustable straps
Nose clip to prevent glasses from fogging up
Not made in China
After checking 35 on-line suppliers and buying two samples, no satisfactory mask was found. The choice was then made to order custom material printed with the SAMOA logo and make the masks myself.
The outside face of the mask is 8 oz. 100% cotton, printed in Canada.
The mask liner is 400-count cotton.
Additional material or a filter can be inserted between the inside and outside layers of the mask. Activated carbon filters can be purchased from Amazon, search “mask filters 2.5.”
The masks come equipped with elastic ear loops. These can be removed and replaced with different elastic or cloth straps.
An exterior self-adhesive metal band can be affixed to the nose of the mask and bent into the required shape. One band is included with each mask. Additional bands can be obtained from Amazon, search “mask nose bridge strip.”
To purchase a mask, for $20.00, please contact me at rfpstow at Comcast.net.
