This week, Wasilla Sunrise Rotary Club will host Yvonne Lamm, Director for Girls State of the American Legion Auxiliary.
Girls State offers training in the practical processes of self government and good citizenship as practiced in a democratic society, with the goal of helping young women better familiarize themselves with their duties as a US citizen and to participate in the democratic process.
Join us to learn more about this great program working to enrich the lives of Alaska's young women.
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.

At last week's meeting Tony Gasbarro, founder of the Project Salvador Scholarship Program, came to share about the great work this educational program is doing in El Salvador.
Specifically, the Project offers educational scholarships to women in El Salvador. “When you educate boys, you educate an individual. When you educate girls, you educate a community," Gasbarro said.
