Educational Books Needed for
Bequia and St. Vincent Islands
The Rotary Club of Port Elizabeth, Bequia, St. Vincent, and the
Grenadines is in need of donated books for the children. Chester Pe-
ters, Secretary of their Rotary Club indicates that many of their
schools and libraries are short of quality reading and educational mate-
rials.
Scout Aric Abbott of Winter Springs, Florida contacted the Rotary
Club in Bequia indicating he would like to gather books as his Eagle
Scout Project. Also IFSR member Steve Robinson of Bequia has been
active on that island in various international projects.
The collection of quality reading material for young people in this
Eagle Scout's project is just another example of how IFSR groups can
make a difference and serve as one of our 4 Way Test objectives. If
those interested in additional information on helping these two islands
expand their libraries should contact Mr. Chester Peters at .
