Are you ready to get in the Christmas Spirit? Unless you are Ebenezer Scrooge, our annual Christmas program provided by the Viva Voce vocal group from Emporia High School is sure to kick-start you into the Christmas season.
The Rotary Club board meetings are open to any club member to attend, and you can get a make-up for doing so. Our next board meeting is Thursday, December 3, 11:30 at the Kanza Room in the Memorial Union at Emporia State University. Lunches are $10 including tip payable to Teresa Maley. If you want to attend and have lunch, be sure to contact Teresa in advance (757-5196).
The Emporia elementary school principals were on hand at our Rotary Club meeting on the day of and prior to our presentation of dictionaries to third graders in Emporia. Tim North talked about the dictionaries that will be distributed.
 
On Tuesday afternoon after our club meeting, several members of our club assisted in the distribution of the dictionaries to every third grader in Emporia and a special version to the Adult Basic Education students. Those members participating in distributing the dictionaries were Tim North, Teresa Maley, Marshall Miller, Gary Ace, Michelle Malone and Alex Mosakowski.
ESU student Victor Sidortsov presented an interesting program to our club about his home country of Belarus. It was granted independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Tragically, Belarus was particularly hard hit during Nazi occupation during World War II, losing roughly two to three million people (about a quarter to one-third of its population).
Rotarian Jami Reever and Hannah Crowl from the United Way showed our Rotary Club one of three little libraries for which we provided funding. For use as neighborhood lending libraries, they will be located at C of E Park (adjacent to Emporia Child Care), Las Casitas Park and the Lyon County Health Department.
