ROTARY CLUB SPONSORS PROJECT - Members of the Rotary Club of Rayne recently sponsored a parish-wide “Who Grew My Soup” literacy in conjunction with the Acadia Parish Library. The book (top left) was readby Rotarian Natasha Domagalski (top right) and will be featured on the library’s Facebook page beginning Friday, Oct. 13. Rotarians then gathered for a “Backyard Activity Packet Party” (middle right) to assemble 150 packets that will be distributed to children throughout the parish. In the bottom photo are some of those participating in the project, including, front from left, Rose Schexnider and Cynthia Beslin; back from left, Steve Bandy, DeBorah Smith, Domagalski and Cynthia Oliver, chair.
