This valuable service, open to Ste. Genevieve residents, costs approximately $500 per month and is funded solely by contributions.

 

“Literacy is one of Rotary’s Six Areas of Focus, so we’re happy that the Ste. Genevieve Reading Express is a strong, vibrant chapter,” said Jared Richardson, Rotary Club president.
