The Rotary Club of Lehi and Rippy Literacy Center are once again hosting a premier family event. The event is a fundraiser for the Literacy Center and the Club.

The Lehi-Rippy Literacy Center had its humble beginnings in July of 1998 in a one-room location generously provided by the city at the request of the center’s founder, Hesther Rippy. The Center is currently housed in the city library building, and its tutors and students benefit from the use of forty-one computers, along with Lexia educational software and phonics-based sequentially-written readers, which provide the structural underpinnings for our reading program.


The award winning Rippy Literacy Center provides free year-round tutoring in a number of different subjects and levels including math, reading, and English. Some of the awards the center has been given are: Recognition of Outstanding Efforts Awarded to Bill and Hesther Rippy by the Utah Coalition on Families in conjunction with the Rippy Family Literacy Center; Community Award’s Awarded to Lehi City on behalf of the LFLC By Lt. Gov. Olene Walker; Presidential Awards’ Individual bronze, silver, and gold awarded to Lehi youth and adults for outstanding performance and service toward literacy with Gold awarded to the Center.

The Rotary Club of Lehi supports many programs throughout the year. Some of our programs are the Dictionary Project, Sub-for-Santa, Rotary Park, High School Scholarships, High School Leadership Training, Interact Club, Venturing Crew, Tiger Cub Den and many International Humanitarian projects.

Please come out and support this event and help us make a difference in the lives of others.
