Rotarians hear about needs filled by Literacy Council

Members of Grand Island Rotary were like members of a class when Diann Muhlbach gave them a lesson about the Literacy Council of Grand Island.

Muhlbach’s most pointed lesson came when she gave the Rotarians a menu that was printed with a few English letters, with the majority of the letters coming from the Russian alphabet.

She asked them to choose what they wanted to order from the menu.

Only two choices were clear: One was tomato soup, while the second obvious choice was a hamburger. Everything else on the menu was indecipherable.
Be sure to read the rest of this story! This is only a small part of it.
