Other ideas: A Creighton or UNO sporting event; museum tour; a play or event at the Holland or Orpheum; include her in a hobby event or activity; or include her in a family event.

Bob Fell would like to remind club members a few years ago, Robert Runyon introduced the concept of Rotary Readers as a way we can help our Adopt-A-School Partner excel. Bob’s goal has been to foster an appreciation of the fun of reading at an early age. Personal self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment in the children are two reasons to help these young people, but there is a “bottom line” reason, too: there is a very high correlation between reading well in second or third grade and finishing high school. Put another way, most drop outs have had trouble reading throughout their schooling. Drop outs cost society at every level.
This is an invitation to become a Rotary Reader. Several of our members have been doing it for years and return again and again because it DOES make a difference. How can you become involved? The best way is to select a day Tuesday through Thursday when you can get away for an hour or two on a regular basis. You can read every week or every-other week, and the teachers and students certainly understand that personal and work commitments can cause you to miss an occasional session. If you can spend an hour, you’ll probably work with two students, either at the same time or in two 30-minute sessions. This doesn’t require any skills, except to listen to the student, read, and care. Send Bob Fell the day and hour you would like to read, and he will work with the librarian, Bobbie Martinie, to link you up with a teacher. The two of you can work it out from there. Email Bob Fell at robertfell68@gmail.com.
Thank you again to members that volunteered to read Dr. Seuss books to the students during the week of March 2nd-6th: Gretchen Radler, Bob Fell, Bonnie Gill, Janet Wallace, Steve Levinger, Susan Thomas, Gail Veitzer, and Bob Runyon.
