Gallipolis Rotary Club split the proceeds from a recent Kindle Raffle to support the libraries of  local middle schools in Gallia County.  Each school received a check for $402.00 from our local club to spend on books to fill the empty shelves in their respective school libraries.  This is great example of how our Rotary club works to benefit our community and schools.  This club literacy continues the work of Rotary under the 2010-2011 theme of “Building Communities and Bridging Continents.”  Many thanks goes out to everyone who helped make this project conceived by Jodie McCalla really work for our schools!
