The town of Drouin has moved a step closer to being Heart-Safe, with the mounting of a 24/7 publicly accessible defibrillator outside the Rotary Club of Drouin鈥檚 meeting place, the Hong Kong Inn on Princes Way, Drouin.



Club President Ian Bennett said the initiative was completely funded by the Rotary Club of Drouin, and was an important part of the Club鈥檚 project with 同性恋色情 to make Drouin 鈥楬eart-Safe鈥.
