A gentle reminder about MyGear

All bags include shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, brush, nightlight, deodorant, washcloth, pillow, pillowcase, blanket, socks, pajamas, underwear, crayons, pens, pencils, journals, coloring books, water bottle, stuffed animal, age-appropriate toys and candy.

Baby bags include (newborn -1): baby shampoo, baby lotion, Desitin, formula, thermometer, pacifiers, socks, diapers, baby wipes, washcloth, burping cloths, blanket, stuffed animal, pajamas, age-appropriate toys.

All items in bags are new. All toiletries are full-size.

We are always looking for new ideas to put in our older boy bags. We usually include playing cards, some sort of sudoku or word cross book, nerd gun, football or basketball and a $10 gift card to Walmart. If you have any new ideas we would love to hear them!

 
 
 
 
Foundation Minute for Week of October 29, 2018
 
 
Foundation Minute for Week of October 22
 
 There are over 122 million children in the world that are illiterate.  In addressing the problem, Rotary realizes that bringing children into schools isn't enough to solve illiteracy.  Consequently, it has turned to mentoring and coaching a teachers!  The Guatemala Literacy Project and the Nepal Teacher Training Innovations are two global grant projects that lead the effort to advance childhood reading by empowering teachers to teach better.  The projects plan lessons that ensure students will actually learn.  The entire effort is part of larger goal to reduce extreme poverty, because knowing how to read and write increases a person's earning potential and ability to build a better life.
 
These projects can succeed thanks to your generous contribution to The Rotary
Foundation. Thank you.
