Raise a Reader

Andrea Palmer, Marketing & Communications Coordinator for the Prince George Public Library made a presentation to the Nechako Rotary Club regarding the "Raise a Reader" program, hosted again this year in Prince George.

The "Raise a Reader Program" has been a regular occurrence in Prince George since 1997, and the Nechako Rotary Club has been a faithful sponsor and participant of this program, during most of those years.

The "Raise a Reader" Program, through sponsorships has received over $300 thousand dollars during this time, which has helped to fund and make the program the success it is.

Numerous volunteers frequent a number of popular locations, such as the local Starbucks, Tim Horton's, MacDonald's, etc. helping to raise some of these funds, in addition to the regular sponsorship donations paid directly to the program by organizations such as the Nechako Rotary.

Andrea was thanked by Rotarian Neil Godbout for her presentation with another donation to our Rotary Polio Plus Program.
