PKK debuted new “event signage”, light weight, portable signs to display at upcoming events, courtesy of David Bywater and Bankers Advertising. Get one for your next event from PKK. PPx3 Margaret Reese provided a snap of the first day of school at the Rotary library at the Neighborhood Center’s westside location. LaDonna Wicklund showed a picture of “Cevelle”, an alumna of the “I Can Read” program and described how the program contributed to her success in life. Also, the “Literary Champions” party will be 9/25 at Kecia B’s home—tickets at $25 each still available. Ladonna also needs volunteer drivers to transport this year’s dictionaries to area schools. Contact her for information on both. John Kenyon took a moment to praise RYLA/WAS, describing the role each played in his own son’s development. Support for next year needed now--$600 (RYLA) and $900 (WAS) sponsorships. Program goal, $30k.
