The North Shore Rotary will recognize two outstanding senior citizens for their contributions to the Staten Island Community. The club is committed to helping the elderly population on Staten Island. “It is with great honor we recognize these individuals for their remarkable contributions to our community,” said Christine DeHart, Club President. This is the second year the club has recognized achievements and service of Island Senior Citizens.
