It also includes the club's theme song, information about 100% attendance in Rotary clubs, and details that Rotarians often refer to each other by first names rather than formal titles.
The document is about an EcoRotary club that commits to reuse, reduce, and recycle programs. EcoRotary is a type of Rotary club that focuses on environmental projects. Rotary International has over 1.2 million members in more than 30,000 clubs across 160 countries. The EcoRotary club will have speakers, monthly mixers with the local Chamber, and plan monthly community and environmental projects. Meetings will be held at a local restaurant.

This document provides a summary of the importance of literacy and how it has evolved beyond basic reading skills. Strong literacy is linked to better employment opportunities and earnings potential while weak literacy limits jobs and income. Literacy now encompasses numeracy, science and technology skills needed in today's information economy. Countries with highly literate populations are better positioned for economic success and to address social challenges. The article notes that Library Week was recently observed in South Africa, highlighting how libraries provide access to information supporting health, education and economic development - key focus areas for Rotary.
