Building Bridges, Connecting Communities
Membership Is How We Keep Rotary Growing
Across the district, Rotary clubs are providing support for reading, learning, and literacy projects here at home and around the world. Projects large and small build local and global relationships that create lasting impacts. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library project provides a monthly age-appropriate book to families, dictionaries, and the Book of Why project for third graders shares Rotary’s commitment to learning.
Let’s ask ourselves, where is there a learning or literacy need in our community that Rotary can help address? What club has a successful project or program that we could learn from and adapt? How can we leverage our resources and work with partners to increase our impact? Educators, non-profits, and families are all potential partners.
