Tarpon Springs Rotary Club Celebrates 95 Years With Book Donations

TARPON SPRINGS, FL — The Rotary Club of Tarpon Springs celebrated its 95th anniversary by donating more than 100 books to families with young children at the Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County.

“Development of a child’s mind begins early, and reading is the foundation of that learning. Early literacy helps children develop the tools to become successful readers and lifelong learners,” said Lindsay Carson, chief executive officer of ELC Pinellas.

For 95 years, the Rotary Club of Tarpon Springs’s members have supported community needs ranging from literacy to health programs.

“We are committed to our shared responsibility to take action on our community’s most persistent issues. Our goal is always to work hard to better the lives of the people around us,” said Robin Wikle, president of the Rotary Club of Tarpon Springs.

The club meets Mondays from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. at the Tarpon Springs Yacht Club.
