Rotary Sponsored Exchange Student returns from Slovakia

Posted by Ingrid Fields

Gretchen Spears gave us a great update on her Rotary exchange year. She had the opportunity to stay with 3 families in Slovakia, 1 family from Radosovce and 2 Families from Skalica. During her time in Slovakia she

experienced many opportunities; learning the culture, traveling across Europe and enjoying meeting new Friends. In addition, she studied Chemistry, Math and Physics and completed a full marathon!

She was very passionate about her time in Slovakia and remarked that the program gave her incredible insight to other cultures, showed her new ways of doing things and really got her outside of her comfort zone. In addition, it gave her additional confidence in herself and what she can achieve.

Gretchen was a model student for the program and we are so proud of how she represented Dublin AM during her time in Slovakia. Very soon we will be sending another Student, Chris to France to study for the upcoming school year. We will also be receiving Lara Kranke from Wilsdruff, German for the upcoming school year.

Thanks to Gretchen and good luck to Chris! Also thanks to Sinan Yaykin for his passion and dedication to making this program a success.

Literacy Committee Project Updates

Posted by Mike Isler on Apr 01, 2019

Literacy Committee Having Another Impactful Year!

Our club has supported local, national and international projects that promote literacy.

The Dublin A.M. Rotary’s Literacy Committee supported the following literacy initiatives this Rotary year:

For the second year in a row we worked in collaboration with the Dublin City Schools to purchase Story Works magazine subscriptions for 316 students at Olde Sawmill Elementary School (91 students), Thomas Elementary School (157 students) and Riverside Elementary School (68 students). The teachers use the lessons in the magazines to teach reading skills and it is a fun way to learn. There are also on-line lessons that can be used with the magazines covering a variety of topics.

For many years our Club’s Literacy Committee donates dictionaries to 3^rd graders in the Dublin City School District who can benefit from utilizing the dictionaries for word recognition, word finding and learning definitions of new words. This year the school district requested that we provide donated dictionaries to all of the 3^rd graders at Indian Run Elementary. Some of the thank you notes we received from students are attached to this e-mail.

We are excited to report that our Literacy Committee is working with the Dublin Library to create a book collection for young children that will focus on the Rotary’s values of inclusion, kindness, respect, giving, empathy and love for our neighbors.

Our Club provides an annual donation of $500 from the Club President’s budget to fund literacy initiatives at Daniel Wright Elementary. This donation will be presented to Daniel Wright’s Principal and Librarian at a Club meeting this spring.

We also contribute to a Book and Magazine Drive for Dublin Methodist Hospital.

If you would like to join us, please contact Julie Erwin Rinaldi.

Our guests today were Dr. Shannon Ho, Internal Fetal Medicine Specialist and Sherry Valentine, Director of Womens Health, from Dublin Methodist Hospital.

Last year, 2,800 babies were born at Dublin Methodist, and over 14,000 babies have been born there overall. It's projected that in the coming years, more than 4,000 babies will be born each year!

A 30,000 square foot addition is underway at the hospital to address the expanded requirements. As part of this expansion, a Womens Health Center is being opened. Our own Bonnie Coley-Malir is chairing the committee that is raising awareness/funding for this center.

The new center will offer outpatient services for women. Dr. Ho explained to us that pregnancy can create long-term risks to the health of the mother, leading to cardiovascular, diabetes and other long-term risks.
