ROTARY CLUB OF MORGAN HILL
DICTIONARIES FOR THIRD GRADE
For the sixth consecutive year, the Rotary Club of Morgan Hill has distributed
dictionaries to every third grader in Morgan Hill. Chief of Police David Swing,
accompanied by Carol Carr, presented the beautiful hardbound “MacMillan
for Children” dictionaries at the schools. The presentation included a fun
exercise in the use of the dictionary.
The majority of the club worked on the project for weeks, with tasks
from preparing the books with a bookplate where the child can enter his or
her name to delivering the books to the students, which is the fun part.
They reported that it was thrill to see how excited each child was to
eeceive their very own dictionary.

GILROY • MORGAN HILL • SAN MARTIN
The Rotary Club of Morgan Hill put on its 34th Annual Harvey Barrett Senior
Dinner this past March at the Morgan Hill Buddhist Hall. Over 300 seniors were
treated to a day of entertainment, food and fellowship. The day’s entertainment
featured the Fabulous Flappers, Dance With Passion, The Little Gym and the
Ukuladies. Food was prepared by Rotarians, under the watchful eye of Rosy
Bergin, owner of Rosy’s at the Beach. The entree for the day was BBQ Pork Loin.
Service to the seniors was provided by a combination of high school seniors
affiliated with local Interact clubs and Rotarians. Therese Kiernan, this year’s presi-
dent, commented “This is a perfect example of an event which makes you feel
good about being a Rotarian. It is a lot of work but that doesn’t matter. As soon
as you see the sea of smiling and happy seniors enjoying the entertainment and
meal, it is all worthwhile.”
