Rotary International's monthly theme for September is Basic Education and Literacy
September is Basic Education and Literacy Month for Rotary. This is one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus. We all know how critical reading and writing are for success in life – for gaining information, communicating, making agreements, and so forth.
Enhancing Basic Education skills and Literacy are essential in reducing poverty, improving health, encouraging community and economic development, and promoting peace. Improvements can reduce maternal death, improve childhood survivability, and reduce poverty. They can also enable success in business or a profession.
Projects undertaken by a Rotary Club can address low adult literacy, returning youth to school, enhancing student performance, or supplementing limited school resources.
The countdown is on!
We are mixing music and mission to make an impact on October 24th!

We acknowledge that we are meeting on Treaty One Territory, Traditional Land of First Nations, and the Homeland of the Red River Metis. We recognize that the clean water we are drinking is sourced from the Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. As Rotarians we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with indigenous communities in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
