Lori Kearby White, teacher, Dee Roderick,
Learning Center director, and Priscilla Davis, Rotary president.
The recovery of the Warren County Learning
Center following the fire was the subject of the November 28 Rotary
program. Dee Roderick, program director, told club members that the
Learning Center was open and holding classes. She mentioned that a yoga
class that had started when the center originally opened had resumed their
sessions. Other classes are being scheduled. When several club members did
not know how to use their picture cell phones, she said that she saw the
need for a class on that topic. Lori White is the GED teacher. Her goal is
to get a high school diploma for anyone who missed an opportunity years
before. Classes meet during the day as well as the evening and child care
is provided for GED students. Having the Learning Center is a benefit for
all who want to improve their job skills or just want to learn something
new.

L to R: Judy Hollander, co-chair of the Dictionary Project; Carol Romine, 3rd grade teacher at Covington; Gail Anderson, Pine Village Elementary principal; Moira Clark, Williamsport Elementary School principal; and Wilma Shackleton, co-chair of the Dictionary Project.
The Dictionary Project has become a community-wide program in order to insure that 3rd graders this year, as well as those in the future, will have their own copies of an elementary dictionary to use in class and then to keep. The groups donating funds for this program include: Attica/Williamsport Rotary, Attica Community Foundation; Delta Kappa Gamma Society, Fountain-Warren Retired Teachers and the Monday Afternoon Literary Club.
