The Marshall Noon Rotary Club is a strong supporter of the United Way of Southwest Minnesota. Noon Rotary has been supporting United Way locally for more than thirteen years with the past nine years contributing specifically to support the Imagination Library Program.

Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month.

This program would also ensure that every child would have access to books in their home, regardless of their family’s income.
