Literacy
Making a Difference; Building Membership
August is the planning time for International Literacy Day on September 8! The options are vast, with only a bit of planning to bring your good works for literacy into the spotlight. Thanks to DG Court's encouragement, I am sending each club in District 6900 a literacy newsletter once each month with links to literacy options. If you do not receive the literacy newsletter, please let me know by emailing me at brenda.c.erickson@gmail.com. There is so much need and there are so many Rotarians to address that need. I am here to help. My experience is with early literacy, but, If I am not able to answer your questions, I will search for someone who can. Importantly, I can't help you if I do not hear from you ... so share (for the newsletter), comment, ask! Have a great August!
From the Rotary Club of Peachtree City …
A project in motion brings new members and a lasting dynamic. Our project with Souns in Puerto Rico has given both those and more.The bond between RD6900 and RC7000 in the effort for early literacy. Please enjoy the video: vimeo.com/281499573
Pictured is a workday to ready Souns materials to deliver to Puerto Rico for the project. One of those lovely ladies decided to join the Rotary Club of Peachtree City as a result of the experience. The day included a choose-your-time schedule with none giving more than about an hour. It was fun, conversational, and purposeful …and we have a new Rotarian in our club.
