The Henry County Rotary Club participated in the annual Ferst Readers luncheon. Member Debbie Donaldson received the Good Neighbor Award due to her work with the Henry County Rotary Club, that came with a $1,000 donation to her favorite non-profit. She chose the Rotary Club and the Club matched the donation in order to participate as a Silver Sponsor this year.
Ferst Readers provides a monthly book to newborns in Henry County every month until they enter Kindergarten. Each group that participates decorates their table in a theme that celebrates childhood learning. The luncheon brings a broad community focus on the importance of birth to school reading advantages.
Our group continued the Cat In The Hat theme from the Ferst Readers Character Fund Raiser.
In addition to supporting Ferst Readers, participation in the event was an impactful way to showcase Rotary's commitment to the community in a room filled with community leaders.
