Project Description Country: USA Location: Baker City, OR Total Budget: $2,400 Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy Activity Type: Education: Literacy Summary: Provide Reading books for elementary students and a reading program This is the same program we have done since we've been in district 5400. A significant portion of our population is at or below the poverty level and unfortunately lack adequate parental involvement in the kid's education needs. This money is a portion of the funds used in our county to fund the Baker County Community Literacy coalition. One of our members manages the library system in our county and he is on the board of directors of the literacy coalition. The funds will be used to provide books to kids that they will own and can take home. Each book will be marked as a gift from Baker City Rotary. Currently a total of three of our members are actively involved in this reading program and we volunteer to read with kids at the schools throughout the school year Project Contact Person District: 5400 Rotary Club of: Baker City Primary Contact: Ken Krohn Email: ken_kro@msn.com Project Status Completed This project is "Completed".
