Rotary members, Glenn, Kathi, Carol Kennedy, Ron & Sue White, Dottie Rogers & Jim Cole handed out popcorn at the Placentia Library end of the year celebration. This community event hosted by the Placentia Library District is the climax of their summer reading program. The fun activities throughout the summer are designed to engage the whole family and help motivate youngsters to read. It is a great program and the Rotary Club of Placentia has helped with it for many years.
