Members of the Lockport Rotary Club are participating in tutor training as the result of a District 7090 grant to address adult literacy in the Lockport area.  Funds from the Lockport Rotary, matched by the grant, have enabled Literacy Buffalo Niagara to purchase additional tutor training kits and thus expand the availability of tutors in Lockport.  According to Literacy Buffalo Niagara, illiteracy among adults in the Lockport area is a growing problem.  The Lockport Rotary Club sought the district grant in order to address one of Rotary’s Major Areas of Focus.  Additional information regarding the program may be obtained by contacting David Kinyon (drkinyon@roadrunner.com).
