The GNB Rotary Club is currently seeking school sponsors for our annual Literacy Campaign. We are seeking help in the form of sponsorships for each of our local thirteen elementary schools. Annually we provide one Dewey Does book titled "I Am Your Lil Super Hero" and one Special Rotary Resource Dictionary for each local third grader. Provided we receive enough sponsorships and funding, we plan to include every third grade class in thirteen schools in three local school districts! In addition to the traditional uses, the students dictionary includes additional resources that are utilized by the teachers throughout the school year to help deliver geography, history, math and science lessons. To sponsor a school and support the Literacy Campaign please click here: http://www.crsadmin.com/eventportal/Registrations/PublicFill/EventPublicFill.aspx?evtid=3769a52f-1e59-48f1-ae6b-f748bef5e3b0 Dewey Does Author Thomas Kinslow along with Rotarians Laurie Lazovick and Mike D'Angola are organizing presentations at each school. Sponsoring individuals and corporations are invited to join and share in this experience of giving out the books at school assemblies in March.
Our club members enjoy planting flowers in the spring and decorating for the holidays in November. Annually club members volunteer and plant flowers on Earth Day and decorate the planters for the holidays the week of Thanksgiving.
