Before the First Cast, Grove Rotarians Make It Happen
Grand Lake is home to more than 40 fishing tournaments each year, and those early morning launches don’t run themselves! Volunteers are needed to help anglers get their boats in the water before sunrise.
Grove Rotarians have been lending a hand for years and have turned it into a well-oiled operation. From directing trucks and trailers to the correct launch lanes, shuttling anglers from parking to the docks, or guiding fans to the weigh-in stations—there’s always plenty to do. On some weekends, as many as 700 boats need to be launched, and teamwork makes it possible.
Thanks Rotarians!

Dolly Parton Imagination Library
More than 1300 children under five years old have been registered so far in Delaware County to receive a free book each month through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program in partnership with the Grove Rotary Club. The free books are offered to all children under five in the county, regardless of family income.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was launched in 1995 by The Dollywood Foundation, providing free books to children in Parton’s home area of Sevier County, Tennessee. The goal of the program is to inspire a love of books and reading among children.
Cindy Hefner, Grove Rotary Imagination Library Chair added that this program is “a great fit for us and fills a clear need in our community. We can’t wait to get these books in the hands of children throughout Delaware County.”
Children must be registered by a parent or guardian in order to receive the books. There is no charge to register or receive the books. Age-appropriate books are mailed directly to the homes of registered children each month.
Parents or guardians may register their children online by filling out a brief form at www.imaginationlibrary.com. They also may register by completing a printed registration form available at various public locations, such as public libraries. Completed paper registration forms may be mailed to Grove Rotary Club, P.O. Box 452286, Grove, OK. 74345.
Registered children will begin receiving books at their home addresses about eight to 10 weeks after their forms are received. The first book distributed is always the children’s classic “The Little Engine That Could.”
The Imagination Library mails more than two million high-quality, age-appropriate books each month to enrolled children from birth to age five. Parton envisioned creating a lifelong love of reading and inspiring children to “Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More.”
