Community Service Committee Update

Part of the proceeds of Rotary Shines will be given to Even Start Family Literacy Program through the Fox Valley Technical College Foundation. This program provides basic adult education and English Language Learning to area families as the first part of a four-pronged approach to family literacy.

The Community Service Fund was established to address needs in the local area. They received 17 grant applications and awarded grants to: Community Garden Partnership: “Good Garden Works” ($788), Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters: “Age On! A Series on Growing Older, Better” ($1,000) and Lutheran Social Services at the Thompson Center: Scholarships for MindWorks providing respite for family caregivers ($1,151).
