to Leslie Burger, Executive Director of the Princeton Public Library
The Rotary Club of Princeton presented two community awards this week.
Rotary honored Leslie Burger, executive director of the Princeton Public
Library, with its Community Service Award, and Carlo and Raoul Momo of Terra
Momo Restaurant Group, with its Vocational Service Award. Both awards are
presented annually to non-Rotarians who live or work in the Greater
Princeton community. The Community Service Award (presented to Burger in the
photo by club member Ted Deutsch) recognizes an individual who makes
extraordinary contributions to the community life through his or her daily
job in the nonprofit, public or volunteer sectors. The Vocational Service
Award presented to the Momo brothers recognizes individuals who use their
professional skills and passion in creative ways to make a positive impact
on thecommunity. Both awards were presented at the Rotary Club's weekly
meeting on June 23rd held at the Nassau Club.

“Rotary is focused on service and these awards give us a chance to recognize
members of the broader community who personify the spirit of service,” said
Rob Hearne, incoming president of the Rotary Club of Princeton. “Leslie
Burger’s extraordinary tenure as head of the Princeton Public Library has
made a powerful impact on all corners of the Princeton community. Carlo Momo
and Raoul Momo not only operate wonderful restaurants, they also continually
demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the local community and environment.
All three honorees make Princeton a better place to live and Rotary is
pleased to present them with this honor.”

Pre-School Literacy Project
Rotary Club of Princeton Launches Literacy Project
At
Princeton Nursery School
In support of Rotary’s commitment to literacy and in recognition of the
month of March as Rotary Literacy Month, the Rotary Club of Princeton has
initiated a new Literacy Project with the Princeton Nursery School.
Princeton Nursery School is a small, private, non-profit, educational child
care facility that provides for the developmental needs of children between
the ages of 2 ½ and 5 years. The School currently serves 44, primarily
Hispanic and African American children. Since its founding in 1929,
Princeton Nursery School’s mission has been to provide a positive and
supportive preschool experience for families at an affordable cost.
Rotarian, Karen Woodbridge shares the contents of one of the
books donated to the children by the Rotary Club of Princeton
Throughout the month of March, members of the Rotary Club, including some
spouses, read to children ages two and a half to five at the Princeton
Nursery School. The teachers at the school chose the books for the Rotarians
to read from among the children’s favorite titles. The Rotarian readers had
the opportunity to read to both small groups and full classes.
Many of the Rotarian readers expressed their delight at how much they
enjoyed having the opportunity to interact with the children. As a result of
their initial experience, several of the members of the Rotary Club, who
read to the children as part of the month of March Celebration of Literacy,
are continuing to read to the children on a regular basis. The Rotary Club
plans to support this project as part of its on-going commitment to
literacy.
Rotarian, Dr. Marcia Bossart explains to the children what
they will find in one of the books that was donated to them.
As part of celebration of Literacy Month, the Rotary Club also gave each child at the Princeton Nursery School a book to take home. Each child in the three year old class received a copy of It Begins with an A and each child in the four to five year old class received a copy of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, both titles having been chosen by the teachers at the Nursery School. The books were personalized with each child’s name on a label in the front of the book.
