LGMR recently hosted a wonderful meeting honoring the contributions of Doug McNeil and the late Jesse Salem who were founders of Lighting for Literacy. Throughout his life, Doug McNeil has, literally, brought light to thousands of people around the world. Accepting the Rotary Humanitarian Award for Doug were his parents, Jim and Renee.
Today, Doug remains a dedicated advocate with an unshakable commitment to creating positive change, while living with a diagnosis of ALS. Doug and his family need our support to offset the financial impact of living with ALS. Please consider contributing to our non-profit fund to help support Doug and his family.
We are pleased to provide links to recent Community Newspaper coverage of our event commemorating Lighting for Literacy and its founders.
