A total of 1,065 free reading books were recently given away by the Sunrises Club of Winona to all Pre-K and Kindergarten children at the 10 elementary schools in the Winona Area Public School district, public and private.

In years past, Kiwanis members and volunteers for the club have gone into the classrooms to read a book to the children and then distribute the books during the visit.  However, these past three years because of Covid-19 issues, a school official met the Kiwanis members outside the school door to take the books to then distribute them to the children.
