Byesville Rotary members believe that literacy is important for a child’s future success as an employee, as a parent, and as a citizen. Annually, the club donates a dictionary to each third grader in the Rolling Hills School District. This year each of over 300 students at Brook, Byesville and Secrest Elementary Schools received a dictionary from the club.

The causes of illiteracy and the literacy challenges people and communities face are complex. Byesville Rotary members feel that they can make a difference by encouraging local students to make the most of their educational opportunities. The dictionary program is only one of several programs that the club supports aimed at supporting students in Guernsey County.

The club inducted Dalton Summers, Principal at the Rolling Hills High School, into the club. He will also be serving as the Rotary Interact Club advisor. His sponsor is Tom Perkins.

Thursday and Friday, November 6 and 7, are the final days for the Rotary Christmas Food Basket sign up. Residents of the Rolling Hills School District can come to the Main Street Methodist Church Activity Hall between 7:00am-12N to register. People registering are asked to bring a photo id, proof of current address, id for any other adults living in the home, and proof of custody for any children under 12 in order to qualify for Angel Tree gifts.

Anyone wishing to donate to the Christmas Food Basket project can give their donation to any of the Byesville Rotary Club members or contact Bob Long at 685-3620 or PO Box 2, Byesville, 43723, care of Bob Long.

Byesville Rotary will hold “Breakfast with Santa” on December 12 to raise funds for the Christmas Food Basket program. The breakfast is $5.00 for adults and will be held at the Stop Nine Senior Center in Byesville. Santa will be visiting. A photographer will be available to take pictures. The pictures will be free.
