ALL ABOUT EDUCATION

The Rotary Club of Ignacio, Sunrise Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Novato distributed new illustrated dictionaries to all third graders in Novato public schools in early February. Funds for purchasing the dictionaries came from various fund raising efforts the local Rotary clubs conduct each year to support both domestic and international community service projects. Pictured are students of the third grade of Emily Cavallero at Loma Verde Elementary School and members of the Rotary Club of Ignacio (left to right) Fred Pfeifer, Larry Curtis, Charley Vogt, Richard Ronshelmer and Chuck Swensen. Not pictured but also assisting was Dean Moser.  -Photo courtesy of Rotary Club of Ignacio
