We are finally celebrating the beginning of spring. There are signs of the season all around. Trees in bloom, daffodils, buds on bushes and trees. It's a great time of year.
Enjoy!

IMAGINATION LIBRARY
Dolly Parton Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children every month from birth to age five in participating communities. Since 2009, Rotary Internationalhas been working with the Imagination Library to promote early childhood reading. Rotary International is a sponsor of the program and Rotarian Dolly Parton has given away more than 100 million books to children in partnership.
Through a Rotary District 5110 grant, the four Rotary Clubs in Josephine County will launch the Imagination Library on May 1st. So far, Rotary has raised $27,000 with the help of AllCare Health and Welch Investment Group. But, we need to raise $163,000 over the next five years to meet our goals. In partnership with our public library, the Josephine County Library Foundation is asking library donors to support the program this April (all monies raised will go to the Rotary Foundation). Look for your yellow envelope in April.
If you’d like to make a difference for one child, please consider donating $125 to the Rotary Foundation in Josephine County for the Imagination Library. Together, we have the potential to change the face of literacy in Josephine County for generations to come.
We will be hosting the Group Study Exchange team from Guatemala on May 1-4. We will need host families for this five member team for their three night, four day stay with us. We also can use some volunteers to drive them to different local activities. Please contact Peter Angstadt, 541-441-9051, if you are interested in participating.
