Ken Feser started his presentation with a quick story about his connection to Rotary. In 1982 he was selected to be part of a Rotary Exchange to Brazil. He found the experience to be very impactful to his life's direction and he raised the question " How do you measure impact" Three key benefits of Public Libraries: - Children entering school are ready to read - thanks to Libraries
- People are able to gather information and assistance they need to take care of business
- The Community has a gathering place where connections and resources can be shared
The Medicine Hat Public Library - Completed the renovation of the theatre this year
- Saw 50% increase in program attendance over the last two years
- Since 2014, the Library funding has NOT kept pace with inflation (CPI)
Ken left us with three thanks - Thank you for Rotary for supporting the Library
- Thank you Rotary for your impact on our community
- Thank you Rotary for allowing Ken to travel to Brazil
