Each month, a dedicated group of volunteers spends time in classrooms reading to students. Students and teachers alike look forward to these visitors! The Rotary Readers are regulars at Roosevelt Elementary in Keego Harbor where they interact with children in Kindergarten, First and Second Grade classrooms. The West Bloomfield Public Library is a partner in this endeavor having curated and donated over 35 books that engage children of this age. Plans to expand the program to other West Bloomfield School District elementary schools are in the works! Readers include Rotarians: Mark Einhaus, Judy Garver, Cindy Hill, Jerry Hill, Paula Konfara, Marlenn Maicki, Linda Wolschlager, Pam Zajac and community members: Mary Kleam, Gary Rhineheimer.
