The WPFV Rotary Reba Furguson Education Fund

The WPFV Rotary Club supports scholarships in the name of Reba Ferguson, who was a
Charter member of our club and also a much loved principal of Fraser Valley elementary, and who
tragically died in an automobile accident in 2007. These scholarships are given to teachers in the
East Grand School District who are seeking help in attaining further professional development.


The Dolly Parton Foundation Imagination Library Project

This Project teams our Club with the parents of children from 0 to 5 years olds by providing one book per
month free of charge to the child. The parents role to to promise to read the book to the child. Our Club
along with Rotary International sponsors the program so that these book are free of charge.

In a joint program between the WP/Fraser Club and Granby Rotary Club free dictionaries are provided
to all third graders at Fraser Valley and Granby Elementary schools. The project was headed by Frank
Delay in Granby and by Will Arduino, Mark Lund, and Nancy Banks in Fraser. These high quality, hard
cover, fully illustrated dictionaries are distributed as a part of the 2 Rotary Club's literacy programs.

Support Our Local Library!

The WPFV Rotary Club would like to remind everyone that its easy way to support libraries in Grand County
with a simple click of a mouse. If you buy books using Amazon.com, 4% of your purchases can be donated
to the library by going to amazon through the library's website http://www.gcld.org.

There is no cost to you. Amazon makes this donation if you link their from the library's site. So bookmark
and look for the Amazon logo on the library homepage.
Book Donations to the Fraser Library
The WPFV Rotary Club began a book sponsorship project soon after it was chartered which honors 
the speakers who appear at our weekly lunch meetings by benefitting readers who use the local library.

Books donated in the speakers honor that bear book plates with the speaker's name and the Rotary emblem.
Titles available at the library thanks to the project include a wide variety of works, from poetry to fiction
to history, with such titles as The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great
American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan. So far a total of 43 books have been added to the library's collection.

Our club has built quite a collection of books for the library--many of which are award-winners.
