At a recent meeting, North Haven Rotary welcomed guest speaker Richard Branigan, the chief operating officer of the American Red Cross, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Branigan spoke about the role the Red Cross plays in our federal government, including in disaster relief efforts and with the armed forces. The North Haven Rotary is coordinating with the Red Cross to provide CPR training for members. Anyone interested in joining North Haven Rotary should contact Rick Bassett at Dgvg7980@gmail.com.
