Rotarians explain importance of literacy to students

Three classes of first- through third-graders at Zephyr Cove Elementary School spent time with members of Tahoe Douglas Rotary last week to celebrate National Literacy Month.

Rotarians Dan Oaks, Paula Peterson, Greg Felton, Conrad Buedel, and Keith Byers volunteered their time to read books, deliver gifts and share a little about being in Rotary to the young students. President Craig Schorr even added in some of his infamous comical entertainment.
