The North Haven Rotary Club hosted a captivating speaker at a recent meeting. The speaker was Dominic Mantuano, the executive director of the Connecticut Burns Care Foundation and a fellow Rotarian from the Stratford Rotary Club, who shared his inspiring insights on helping burn survivors achieve their goals.
