The Manhasset Rotary held its 16th annual Children’s Circus at the Munsey Park Elementary School field. The event brought in the talents of the Zerbini Circus, an awesome old-fashioned circus, and its many donors. Robbie Donno, the president of the Manhasset Rotary and the founder of the Gift of Life was dressed as ringmaster.

The Gift of Life is helping Esma Rusinovci, a 9-year-old girl from Kosovo, who will be undergoing a life-saving procedure to repair a hole in her heart. Students at Manhasset High School raised $5,000 for the humanitarian mission. Sean Levchuck, MD, chairman of Pediatric Cardiology at St. Francis Hospital, will be donating his medical services.
