HELP BOOST OUR ATTENDANCE WITH RULE OF 85: Let Adam know if the
sum of your “age” plus the “number of years” of Rotary membership
is 85. You are eligible for the “excused attendance” require-
ment. However, if a “RULE of 85” member is present, then
they are included in this week’s attendance calculations.
This results in a higher percentage of attendance.
PINNING NEW MEMBERS: During Club Assemblies (9/14) we will
be “pinning” our new members.
STEINFORD TOY FOUNDATION: Our club will again be taking on
this worthy project. Please be thinking about your business
being a Toy Collection Point.

coaches. Working with a training consult-ant, each coach selects books to read and prepares weekly coaching plans. The coach meets with the child 35 minutes each week.
“Sometimes I read to the child and some-times the child reads to me,” Smith noted. “Sometimes we read opposite pages and sometimes we each read a character like we’re in a play.”
One to One currently reaches more than
400 children in 42 elementary schools, ac-cording to Page. Data show that 88 percent of the students coached have made contin-uous progress in reading achievement.
“I get as much out of it as the kids do,” Smith said. “The best part of it is getting to know about the kids and watching them learn. Some are real shy and just need someone to talk to. All of them need some-one who’s a friend.”
Someone who’s … well, like a golfing buddy.
ONE ON ONE, BY PAT MOYNAHAN
When he retired from his dental practice, Jeff Smith did not envision reading to third graders every week. Golf was more like what he had in mind.
He was subbing on occasion in Boone County schools when he decided to try out One on One, a program in which volunteers work with students in grades 1-3 on their reading skills.
“I was just looking for something to do when golf season ended,” Smith said. “I enjoyed it so much I quit subbing after the first year because this (One on One) is what I most like to do.”
Smith shared his One on One experiences at a meeting of the Florence Rotary Club on Monday, Aug. 3, in conjunction with a presentation by the Northern Kentucky Edu-cation Council (NKEC). The council is com-prised of business, community and education leaders who coordinate education innova-tions in the region.
“We are the backbone organization for align-ment of education initiatives,” said Polly Page, executive director of NKEC. “We focus on the whole education pipeline, from early childhood on.”
One on One is one of the several collabora-tive programs sponsored by the council, in-cluding:
Read On! – a multi-dimensional program that focuses on improving third grade reading success kindergarten readiness, attendance, summer learning and literacy intervention.
NaviGo Scholars – a coaching and mentoring program for high school students.
Enhanced Gallup Student Poll – a program that tracks student progress around a com-posite hope, engagement and well-being score called “Ready for the Future.”
Volunteers in the One on One program un-dergo six hours of training to become literacy
