Exciting Collaboration: KBeam Reading Project in Partnership with Alpharetta Rotary We are thrilled to announce that Roswell Rotary will soon be learning more about the KBeam Reading Project, a special presidential project in collaboration with Alpharetta Rotary. This innovative initiative is focused on improving literacy and encouraging a lifelong love of reading among young students in our community. The KBeam Reading Project will aim to provide resources, mentoring, and support to help children enhance their reading skills. This collaboration between two Rotary clubs demonstrates the power of teamwork in addressing important community needs, and we’re excited to be part of such a meaningful effort. Stay tuned for more details on how Roswell Rotary will be involved and how you can participate in this impactful project. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of young readers in our area!
