Community Service Project - Literacy

The week of December 2nd was Dictionary Distribution Week!  More than 20 club members distributed dictionaries to over 900 students at the following seven elementary schools:  Kings Trail, Greenfield, Spring Park, Hendricks Avenue, San Jose, Southside Estates and Holiday Hill.

The students were very excited to receive their own dictionary.

In the words of one student, "We get to keep this. Forever???"

The auction of two owner’s suite tickets to the JAGS game December 15th is CLOSED. Congratulations to Don Blackburn, Rotary Club of Ponte Vedra Beach. Don’s $2,000 bid, along with the accompanying Gates Foundation Match means 10,000 children will be immunized from polio. Thanks to all those that submitted bids.
