Rotary Clubs Unite to Bring Annual Gift of Dictionaries to Area Schools

Jan. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- (Port St. Lucie, FL) – The PSL Sunset Rotary in conjunction with the PSL Rotary Lunch Club and the Ft Pierce Rotary Lunch Club delivered over 4000 dictionaries to 3rd graders throughout St Lucie County during November and December 2010 as a part of their annual dictionary distribution.  As the county struggles to deal with the economy and its effect on their budgets, many classrooms face the consequences of the cuts as supplies get scarcer and scarcer.  One thing that they can depend on though is the commitment of these Rotary Clubs to make sure that the dictionary program does not get left behind. Each third grader is presented with a free dictionary, courtesy of the Rotary and directions on how to use it.  

This program continues year after year and the enjoyment it brings to the children continues as well.  The presentation to the third graders always sparks their sleuthing skills as they immediately begin to hunt down words and interact with the Rotary members.  During the presentation, the children also learn about the Rotary and it's commitment to helping children around the world.

Community involvement is an important issue for Rotarians and they have a special focus on kids.  From continued efforts to raise money for the Harvest Food Outreach Center and WPSL Christmas Kids to their sponsorship of Rotary Youth Exchange students, the PSL Sunset Rotary stays busy and is always in need of new members and volunteers.
