Sherri's Books Provides Lasting Legacy
while Promoting Literacy

For Sherri’s Books project spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Eagan, Steve Haschig was a natural at Deerwood Elementary School when reading The Dog: Three stories about a Cat to Stacy Bauman’s first grade class earlier this spring. He was one of 26 club members and community volunteers who took part in the 14th year of reading to first grade classes. After reading the story, the teacher distributed a book to each student to keep as their own. This year 615 books were distributed to 26 first grade classes in seven schools, both public and private, in Eagan.

Rotarian John Rhody organized this year's Sherri’s Books initiative which started back in 2008 and “finds it an extraordinary event which includes our broad community - Eagan Rotary, Dakota County Library, Eagan schools, and our Fire and Police Depts - all focused on our children.”

Human Trafficking Becomes Rotary's Priority Project

Human slavery has been identified as such a global issue that Rotary International has identified this as one of the next global initiatives to solve as we get close to celebrating the end of polio. Many of us have the image of human slavery taking place in other parts of the world. However, it is happening in our own country AND is a significant industry right here in Minnesota. As leaders in our communities, District 5950 has joined with District 5960 to end human trafficking in Minnesota. We are designing a three-year strategy and want your involvement.
