Membership moment –
Below is the Membership Moment Gwenn Carr shared on Sept 13 and the link to the Literacy Action Group.
September is Basic Education and Literacy Month for Rotary – This is one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus. We all know how critical reading and writing are for success in life.
There is a Rotary Literacy Rotary Action Group (LITRAG). This is a worldwide network of Rotarians with a special interest in alleviating illiteracy, enhancing literacy teaching and learning globally, helping to provide materials and equipment for literacy education. Check out their website http://www.litrag.org/
Our Rotarian of the Month is Patty Mulqueen. Patty came to the aid of Amir Famili and one of our Afghan families. Amir was seeking a stroller for the family who recently had a child. Patty provided not only the stroller but a car seat as well!
