The Rotary Club of Highlands Ranch recognized Ryan Eto as an outstanding student at its Thursday luncheon. Ryan is a senior at Valor Christian High School. His parents, Dr. Robert Eto and Dr. Dianne Eto where guests as well as Ryan's history teacher, Charlie Hajec. Ryan has a 3.7 GPA and has taken many Honors and AP classes. He is a member of the National Honor Society and is recognized as a National Merit Commended Scholar. Ryan is actively involved in community service projects including Special Olympics, Food Bank of Colorado and Urban Peak Shelter. One of Ryan's favorite school activities is Speech and debate. He did a great job telling the members about the Poetry Out Loud contest where he won the school's contest and participated in the state contest. This contest encompasses recitation of a selected poem from memory and dramatizing the reading with emotion and emphasis.
Carl Dickerson, a member of the Cantonment Rotary Club in Florida and honorary member of the San Jose Rotary Club in Costa Rica, and program director of Give-A-Book, was the guest speaker on October 22. The Highlands Ranch Rotary International Service Committee has undertaken a literacy project that will greatly improve the lives of children in Costa Rica. This project will enhance and enrich our international interaction commitment by partnering with a Rotary club in Costa Rica and working with Peace Corp volunteers to carry out this effort. Carl was presented a $3000 check for the Give-A-Book organization from our Foundation to help buy needed books.
Give-A-Book has partnered with Rotary District 4240 with many literacy projects over the years that involved collaboration with Peace Corps Volunteers, especially in Costa Rica and El Salvador. Most of the projects involved providing books to schools and community libraries where the Volunteers were serving. The signing of the Official Peace Corps-Rotary agreement encouraged the District to continue and strengthen their Peace Corps/Rotary collaboration in Costa Rica.
