The Butler Rotary Foundation, the nonprofit foundation of the Butler Rotary Club PM, gave $20,000 to the Butler County Community College Foundation for the Adult Literacy Program on Monday evening, June 19, at its Changing of the Guard Dinner at Serventi’s On the Runway.

Barbara Gade, director of the Adult Literacy Program, received the check from David White, club president, and Susan Edwards, Luncheon for Literacy committee member.

The check represents proceeds from the Rotary’s “Luncheon for Literacy” held April 16 at BC3 which featured 32 book-themed tables along with basket and silent auctions. The funds were proceeds from sponsorships, ticket sales, basket and silent auctions, and donations representing votes by attendees for their favorite decorated table.
