Last Tuesday, Frank and Robbie made another trip into JFK airport, this time to pick up a 9-year old girl Esma and her mom Habibe.  Esma will get her surgery on Oct. 5th at St. Francis Hospital.  Please keep her in your prayers.  
 
 
One of the Objectives of Rotary is "to foster the development of acquaintances as an opportunity to service." 
In 1975, Frank Regnante (far left) was the Director of Development for St. Francis Hospital.  Robbie Donno (far right) was the President of the Manhasset Rotary.  Robbie was 29, Frank was 45.  In November of that year, Robbie and Frank made a trip into JFK airport to pick up a 5-year old girl named Grace Agwaru and her dad, Sylvester .  Grace Agwaru underwent open heart surgery at St. Francis Hospital at Roslyn and the Gift of Life was born.  The development of that acquaintance and all the acquaintances that followed has lead to over 27,000 children receiving their Gift of Life.
