Norfolk Sunrise is excited about the recent launching of a new joint “Literacy for Littles” program with Big Brothers Big Sisters of  Grand Erie and financial support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation.  The program will increase access to mentoring supports for local children aged 5-7. This literacy based mentoring program will help reduce later difficulties in school by providing early intervention and one-on-one support from enthusiastic, caring volunteers.  Norfolk Sunrise Secretary Rotarian (and Big Sister) Pat Meiklejohn has championed this project from the beginning for who literacy is a passion.  She noted that “Literacy is a priority for both the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise and for Rotary International.”  To see a report on the launch that appeared in The Hub click here
