The Rotary theme for September is Basic Education and Literacy. This theme focuses on strengthening communities' ability to support education and literacy for all ages, reducing gender disparity in education, and increasing adult literacy. Rotary members worldwide work on projects to achieve these goals, such as empowering educators, providing resources, and offering literacy programs.
As the temperatures begin to cool, it's time to start thinking about our annual Gear Up for Winter with Rotary collection drive. Donations of new and gently used winter gear will be collected September 8 through October 1, with distribution taking place on October 4 at the Bunker.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, last year we collected more than 500 winter items and helped 143 individuals stay warm during the winter months. Every coat, hat, pair of gloves, and scarf makes a difference for someone in need.
