Working Meeting - Board Meeting
Posted by Mary Stark
This week we had another working meeting at lunch. Neither wind nor hail nor snow could keep some very brave members from attending and much was accomplished. The Board approved increasing our 10 perpetual licenses for the Academy of Reading to 20 at a cost of $3500. This brings the total to 180 students that we will help with literacy each year. "This makes a huge difference in developing reading skills for our students who struggle with dyslexia and other learning challenges." Tracy Noble, teacher, Carnarvon Elementary.
The Board also approved a donation of $6500 to the Eye Care Center to purchase equipment for age related Macular Degeneration. This need was brought to our attention by our member Glen Miller.
Also approved was $3000 for a public washroom at the Aboriginal Mother Centre - where they teach Moms to be Moms.
We will be donating $3000 to the Richmond Centre for Disability and they will advise us what is needed most by the end of March.
And last but not least we will be sending 1 local student and 1 student from Burns Lake to RYLA - Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, where they will learn to be part of a team and leadership skills.
Well done Harreson and the Board!
