Rotary Literacy Campaign

The Computer-Assisted Literacy Solution (CALS) program helps both children and adults with individualized training programs to teach English and math skills. This computer-based method of training motivates the user, building self-esteem and confidence.
View RI President Wilfrid J. Wilkinson’s literacy page for more information about CALS and other literacy programs.

Today's Meeting


Unfortunately, I could not make today's meeting, but Roger Aeschliman covered for me and I'll post his story here and in the February issue of the Rotopeka. Ann Palmer was on hand for photos.

Rotopeka Delivered Today

I received my copy of the Rotopeka in the mail today. As you will notice, the issue is a double issue (December and January). Due to the light schedule over the holidays with Rotary, the Rotopeka has opted to post a double issue the past few years. The February issue is underway. Keep checking back for more updates.
