St. Lucie County Third Graders Happily Receive Dictionaries at Annual Rotary Dictionary Distribution

March 5, 2010 - PRLog -- (Port St. Lucie, FL) – We are about halfway through the school year and the PSL Sunset Rotary in conjunction with other area Rotary Clubs has completed their annual distribution of dictionaries to St. Lucie County third graders.  As always, the children were filled with enthusiasm and a contagious energy that proves to us how valuable the program really is to each of the children.  Students and teachers alike appreciated the gesture as we barrel into a new decade.

Students learned about the Rotary and the different ways the Rotary helps children in the community and abroad.  They were also challenged to use their new dictionary on the spot to show them that there is more to the dictionary than just word definitions.  The third graders proudly displayed their knowledge with an eagerness that we were glad to encourage.

Literacy is an important issue for Rotarians but it is just one of many projects the PSL Sunset Rotary is involved in.  From continued efforts to raise money for the CASTLE Program and WPSL Christmas Kids to their sponsorship of exchange students from around the world, the PSL Sunset Rotary stays busy and is always in need of new members and volunteers.  The group meets on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays at 6PM at the Greenside Tavern in the Club Med Sandpiper Golf Club.  Please call Larry Breault at 772-871-1100 x201 to get directions or for more information on becoming a part of the Rotary.
