Rotarian Diane Tabony thanks the community’s involvement on the island, which allows the Rotary Club to assist San Pedro Town in different areas. According to her, helping the Polyclinic is always one of their top priorities. They believe that the island’s main medical institution must be well prepared to render adequate services. As to the success of the dollar drives, the Rotary Club is deeply touched by the community demonstrating their appreciation and generosity in their donations during the drive.
