Muscogee Rotary is heavily involved in literacy. Literacy is often overlooked for children with severe special needs. Muscogee Rotarians have an ongoing, monthly relationship with Easter Seals of West Georgia where our club members read to the students and provide books, materials, and hugs for our community's most special children.
At Christmas, one Rotarian always dresses up as Santa Claus to read to the children.
On Easter, we have an easter egg hunt and we read to the children.
The highlight of the year is our annual "Literacy Celebration" organized by our club members. On this day Muscogee Rotarians enlist the help of the entire community to recognize the children for the hard work they have done all year long. The Fire Department brings a ladder truck. The SWAT team brings it's armored vehicle. The police bring a parade of motorcycles. Chic-fil-A brings the cows. GEICO brings the Gecko. Rotarians dress up in costume and read to the children. It is quite a spectacle!
