Partnerships and Rotary

Partnerships have always been part of volunteer literacy, but in these difficult times they are vital. Civic clubs are logical partners, and many, like Rotary, have literacy as a priority. Pat Bauer, a VALF board member, is active in Rotary and created a power point on Rotary and literacy. We have posted it on our wiki on our page with cost saving ideas.

Take a look at it to get more ideas on how to partner and to better understand how Rotary works. This is the time of year that civic clubs are planning for their new year. Go ahead and touch base with Rotary to speak about your program. As your local club gets to know you and your literacy program, they may contribute funds. Often these groups think of literacy in the context of children. It is up to you to put a face on adult literacy.
