District Simplified Grant Approved

Our Club recently donated 553 dictionaries to every third grader in the Patchogue Medford School system. We received many letters of appreciation from both students and staff at the seven schools involved. In recognition of the Patchogue Rotary's efforts to improve literacy our Club was awarded a District Simplified Grant in the amount of $690, the entire cost of the project. Many members of the Club were involved in the project which required the design and printing of labels, the insertion of the labels in all books and finally in the personal distribution at all the schools. Many hands made less work for everyone !
