September is Rotary International's Basic Education & Literacy Month.
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent 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.

Thanks to Trooper Ryan Anderson for joining us bright and early on Tuesday morning to share about the Alaska State Troopers Crime Suppression Program.
