For the 13th year, the Sunset Rotary Club of Carson City will donate dictionaries to each third grade student in Carson City and Dayton.
The club’s Rotarians will go to each elementary school and present a dictionary to the area’s 624 students in an effort to encourage literacy and to educate our community of the goals of rotary locally.
The Sunset Rotary Club of Carson City is a community service organization that does various projects within the carson city and dayton areas as well as around the world. Education is one of Rotary International’s areas of focus.
Sixty-seven million children worldwide have no access to education and more than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Rotary’s goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education and increase adult literacy.
