December meeting of

The theme is “Unusual
Shapes.”
Rotary offers adult education fellowship grant
Are you a teacher or non-
profit professional looking
for a chance to increase your
skills? Do you want to bring
an exciting new program to
your students or clients that
will require specialized train-
ing?
The Florence Rotary Club’s
Continuing
Professional
Education Fellowship pro-
gram is offering two $2,000
fellowships to support local
people who serve the commu-
nity.
The simple application is
due by Friday, Jan. 15, at 4
p.m.
To apply, visit www.the
florencerotary.org,
select
“Club Links” from the left
menu, and select “Fellowship
Grant.”
Seven years after the
Rotary Professional Edu-
cation grant first began, more
than a dozen local teachers
and nonprofit professionals
have received training and
education.
Here are some of the
results:
• A middle school science
teacher attended a graduate-
level course at Portland State
University focused on engi-
neering and design education.
• An elementary school
teacher who was struggling to
engage the highest and lowest
achievers in her classroom
used our funding to attend a
national conference about
using tablets to manage differ-
entiated learning.
This approach advocates
the use of small workstations
throughout a classroom where
students can learn in different
ways — using a computer or
tablet, touching or interacting
with objects, engaging in dis-
cussion or pursuing individual
study.
• A counselor received
training to teach women and
children how to deal with and
prevent domestic abuse.
Anyone engaged in serving
the community is eligible, and
complete details about the
program are available online.
‘Crab cracking’ event
will benefit Food Share
The fifth annual Florence
Crab Crack will take place
Saturday, Feb. 6, from 4 to 7
p.m. (or until all the crab is
gone) at the Florence Events
Center.
Only 400 tickets will be
available and, in the past, this
event has had early sellouts.
This year is expected to be a
sellout as well, so guests are
encouraged to get tickets early.
Guests will enjoy Oregon
coast Dungeness crab with all
the trimmings, including
pasta, coleslaw, French bread,
BJ’s dessert, sodas and coffee.
A no-host bar will also be
available.
In addition, an array of
items will be up for bid at a
silent auction to be held during
the event.
All proceeds from the Crab
Crack will benefit Florence
Food Share, the local food
pantry that provides resources
to those facing hunger in west-
ern Lane County.
Currently, Florence Food
Share serves approximately
650 households made up of
some 1,800 individuals.
For information, group
seating or tickets, call Bob
MacDuffee at 541-997-9599
