Paradise Valley Rotary Club members recently distributed dictionaries to every third grade student in the Paradise Valley School District. Nearly 2,600 dictionaries were handed out this year, the 13th year that the club has been involved in the Dictionary Project.  
 
To support its many projects, the Paradise Valley Rotary Club is planning its 45th Annual Western Night at the Merlino Ranch this Friday, November 3. The event’s silent auction will provide funding for the club’s charitable events.
Another of the club’s long-time fund raisers is assisting with parking and transportation at Winter Range – an international shooting competition held annually at the Ben Avery Shooting Range in North Phoenix.
 
The club also supports Neighborhood Ministries, Junior Achievement, Books for a Better World, Holiday Food Baskets for Needy Families, RYLA and Youth Salute.
 
They are in the beginning stages of reorganizing an Interact Club at North Canyon High School.
 
This busy, vibrant and exciting club continues to grow and excel under the leadership of President Kerry Smith.
 
The Western Night is this Friday! To register, call Mike Maurer at 602-320-6018.
