Tomorrow Mrs. Alaska - Serena Lee - will join us to share about her journey as Mrs. Alaska and talk about her platform: "My mission in life is to strengthen families and break the cycle of children becoming a statistic. I pray for the day that together we can end domestic violence, drug abuse, child abuse, mental illness, and suicide."

September: Basic Education & Literacy Month
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate - that's 17% of the world's adult population.
Rotary's goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.
Read more about Rotary's efforts to address literacy and education.
