[NEohioPAL] SOS for elastic!

[Laura Hall]

Hi all,

My name is Laura Hall and I'm on a desperate hunt for elastic donations.
I'm volunteering full-time right now with the 3D printing company Makergear
located in Beachwood, OH, and they are in full production mode for face
shields for medical professionals.  The supply chain is really overloaded
and we are having a hard time procuring elastic (for the back of the face
shield).  If you have any elastic in your costume shops you would be
willing to donate ASAP, we would be so incredibly grateful.

Specifically, we are REALLY in need of elastic with widths of 1/8" and
1/4", but we also have a need for 1/2" and above as well.

On a personal note, I'm a professional actor myself (based out of NYC), so
my heart is with you all in this absolutely insane time.  I'm calling on
our people for help!  The emails and texts from doctors and nurses around
the country who don't have the protection they need is frustrating and
awful.  Please holler if you have anything to donate.

PS here's an image of one of the masks we are currently producing.  This
one involves 3D printing, and we're working to get a die-cut model in full
production right now (which will be cheaper, more efficient, and more
easily packable).

Thanks so much,
