The Rotary Club of New Tampa recently donated new re-useable gel ice packs to the Pioneer Medical Foundation. Connie Bladon and Lesley Zajac delivered the needed supplies to Ano Kashumba, executive director.
The ice packs were donated to the Rotary Club of New Tampa by a local non-profit organization which conducts large-scale nationwide clinical trials, when some were left over from a clinical study.
"We deeply appreciate the non-profit clinical trials organization because they helped us help Pioneer Medical Foundation which serves the homeless, refugee, uninsured and under-insured adult population in our area," said Zajac.
Pioneer provides free medical services and medications--many of which need to be kept refrigerated. These gel packs will go a long way towards ensuring that these medications are kept safe. Since 2015 the Pioneer Medical Foundation has helped over 16,300 patients and in three years has doubled the size of its Orthopedic Clinic. Since 2020 they have helped more than 550 patients secure medical insurance. Pioneer Medical Group has been a major sponsor of the Wiregrass Turkey Trot for several years.

RCNT Clay ShootersThe Clay Shoot was sponsored by District 6950 and the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel. It was well attended and held at Tampa Bay Sporting Clays on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Matt Palmer, Frank Moore, Eric Longphee and David Pogorilich snagged the second place Governor's Cup. Shooters enjoyed a barbecue meal with all the fixins' from Hungry Harry's Barbecue.
"Build This Home was one of the charities we supported last June during our Give Back Breakfast. Our members learned about Wesley Chapel Rotary's efforts to raise $500,000 to build this home giving young girls and teens a safe, secure home in which to recover and learn," said Ken Guidera, RCNT president and a member of the second RCNT shooting team.
