Rotary Foundation Forms: From now on if you are purchasing items on behalf of the Rotary Foundation, use our tax exempt form so you do not have to pay taxes and can save some money for our Club. Additionally, if you purchase something on behalf of the Foundation and need to be reimbursed, there is a form to fill out and you will submit that along with a copy of the receipt to Rick Archer and he will issue you a check. You can mail or email him the paperwork once completed. Both of these forms are available for pick from the Sgt. at Arms and we are working on making them available on our website as well. 
 

Thank you to those that are now sitting "THE Best Table!!!" You guys are the best!! I am calling on you all to be a change agent and be willing to make a new table, your table. Those that step up may even be rewarded!! "Let him that would move the world, first move himself." - Socrates (Shameless, I know. )

We welcomed Tim Bailey, ESOL Coordinator of Project Learn of Summit County as our speaker. Tim is a former teacher and is expecting his first child, a girl, with his wife.

 

Project Learn has served the community since 1981. Their mission is to provide literacy and lifelong learning services to help adults achieve their goals as family members, workers, community members, and lifelong learners. Since 1981 they have served 26,315 adults.

 

They have several ways they accomplish this. They have clases for Literacy, GED, ESOL, College and Career Prep. Their students are adults who want to achieve their education goals, weather it be earning high school credential and/or learning English. The goals of the prgram and students is to find or maintain employment, attend college or vocational school, become more self-sufficient or achieve personal goals, like becoming a citizen, visit the doctor or integrate into the community. 

 

The students go through registration, testing and then are placed in class. Classes are Monday - Friday, morning, afternoon and evening, 3 hours a day, 2-3 days a week.
