Nothing Reads Like a Book!
 
 
District 6420 – 2022-2023 District-wide Service Project – Nothing Reads Like a Book!
 
As part of our District’s new strategic plan, we are committed to implementing a District-wide service project each Rotary year. 
 
For the 2022-2023 Rotary year, the District-wide service project will extend the good work of our District’s Literacy Committee by asking each Rotarian in our District to donate one new book to a local library. 
 
As a result, we hope to donate more than 1400 books to local libraries and hopefully make a difference in the lives of many youth and adults.
