Rotary Hits a High Note for Literacy! 🎶📚

The United Rotary Clubs of Southern Oregon—all nine clubs strong—joined forces for a foot-stomping, hand-clapping benefit concert in support of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Jackson County. The spotlight shone on the timeless music of the Highwaymen—Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson. With favorites like Walk the Line and On the Road Again, the crowd couldn’t help but sway, clap their hands, and soak up the joy. The event netted $5000, and will support 160 children, for one year of books!
But the biggest encore continues off the stage. Partnering with Jackson County Library Services since January of 2023, the results are nothing short of amazing! More than 6300 local children have enrolled in DPIL, 1800 have graduated, and 4500 are active and receiving free books delivered right to their homes, sparking a love of reading that will last a lifetime.
Music, community, and literacy—Rotary brought it all together in one unforgettable night!
