Reading Chair Project 
One of the companies that we have partnered with for several years in the Hancock  Hustle is Auto Truck.  Mike F has been talking with them over the last few months about another community outreach program.  Initially it appeared we were going to be doing a “bike program”.  That was cancelled.  The new initiative is “A Day of Caring” and we will be building and distributing “Reading Chairs” for children.  This concept is taking place across the country and emphasizes reading with children.  It looks to support current initiatives in schools, libraries, and other locations with children reading.  Some of the details……………..
 
  1. Build 15 chairs
  2. Possibly conduct a book drive  to include some books with each chair
  3. September 21 is the building day for the chairs
  4. Identify location for the 15 chairs
  5. Possibly in a gentle manner put logos of Auto Truck, Fire District, and Rotary on the back of the chairs as the contributors
Please let Mike know if you have any suggestions on where to place the chairs or are interested in helping out with the project.

Rotary Youth Exchange
Our outbound exchange student Zoey will be going to Spain! She is working on a scholarship application to help defray the cost. Mike M will be writing a letter of support. There is a suggested requirement that our club matches the scholarship amount. If that is not feasible we can provide what we can.  We can also do some mini fundraisers for her over the next few months. She has also started a blog and she will let us know when it is up and running. Mike M and Ralph were going to double check when financial payments need to be paid so we can keep on top of her payments.
