Saturday, May 30, 2026, members of the Rotary Club of Alton Godfrey participated in the Rotary Day at the Ballpark where the Cardinals played the Cubs. This event has been repeated each year since I (Larry Thompson) was District Governor (2009-10). Our good friend, Rotary International President Elect Larry Lunsford, threw out the first pitch. The event raises money used to provide Literacy Grants to clubs of the District. Our club has applied for grants each year of the program under the leadership of past president Ron Mayhew, chairman of the Alton Godfrey Rotary Literacy committee. Brian Barstead is the current District 6460 Literacy Chair and Past District Governor Rod Buffington began the program and has been leading the program for over 17 years.
