Rotary set a Guinness world record for the most books collected in a 7-day period by collecting 242,624 books for children in grades K-3 with the book drive at the Rotary International Convention earlier this month. Story here.
Our club donated 342 books. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed, especially big donors like Nilagia and Leana! Thanks also to everyone who helped carry them through the Los Angeles Convention Center!
The books will go to students in Los Angeles area schools.
Either I am terrible at obtaining information (ha!), or RI is not great at providing it (at least, in a clear manner). To save you all the the trouble of hunting around, I am presenting a one stop shop for all your convention needs.
