Apatang asked Rotary Club of Saipan members to back up the Saipan Mayor\u2019s Office\u2019s campaign to beautify the island during the Rotary Club\u2019s weekly meeting at the Hyatt Regency Saipan yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Apatang, who was accompanied by field operation director Joan Aquino and Dog Control Program manager Spencer Marchadesch, was the guest speaker in yesterday\u2019s meeting and he took the opportunity to update the Rotary Club of his office\u2019s projects and programs.<\/p>\n<p>Apatang asked Rotary members to assist in beautifying the island by helping pick up trash whenever it is seen.<\/p>\n<p>Apatang said he will also push through with the late Saipan mayor Donald G. Flores\u2019 Sunset Project Garden along Beach Road and asked Rotary members to help in the beautification project.<\/p>\n<p>Apatang hopes to finish the project within three months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the duties of the mayor of Saipan is to clean up and beautify the island. As you know when I go out in the newspaper all I say is \u2018beautification,\u2019 and I need your help too as Rotarians and your businesses. I am writing to each business all along the villages and roads to help me clean up the islands,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you drive along the villages you\u2019ll see all these trash. If [the dumpster] is full, they\u2019ll just throw them on the outside of the trash can and all those trash will start flying, so I will need your help and work together,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Apatang also gave an overview of each program that is administered by his office and his future plans. Some of these projects include continuing the relationship of cultural exchange students from Japan and Korea, providing secondary road cleanup, and village and residential cleanups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saipan Mayor David M.
