Literacy Project

We woke up early to get to work Wednesday morning. Before breakfast, we put Rotary stickers on 6,000 books we had collected this summer, and over 1,000 dictionaries.
 
Thank you to Wings and Savers for being our partners in supporting literacy right here at home. Thanks Sharon LaComb for organizing our book drive, Mark Bodin for organizing the Dictionary project, District 196 for getting these books to children, and to all our Rotarians for putting in such hard work raising the money for the Dictionary project during our annual car raffle, and doing the work to collect so many children's books.
 
District 196 Superintendent Jane Berenz will join us for a photo op at the end of our meeting on Wednesday, September 28th.  We thought it would be a good time to have a professional picture taken of our entire club.  So dress appropriately........(knobby knees in the back row!). 
 
What a huge success! It feels so good to make a difference.

Ticket donations are: $1 for 1 ticket; $2 for 3 tickets; $5 for 10 tickets; and $10 for 25 tickets. Three lucky winners are chosen each week; the first two tickets drawn win $5, the third winner draws a card from the deck in hopes of pulling an Ace to win a share of the pot.  If a joker is pulled, it will cost the winner a $2 contribution to the pot.  If the Ace of Spades is pulled, the pot is awarded equally to all who have pulled an Ace from the current deck, and the drawing starts over again.  Congratulations Terry Merritt for drawing the Ace of Diamonds!  This guarantees him to win at least 1/4 of the pot!
