The Cicero Rotary Club, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary, and one visiting Rotarian greeted the Mayor of Montemorelos, Mexico and his wife. The Rotary Club donated 250 dictionaries to the 3rd grade of the Montemorelos school. One of the Rotarians, Rosa Ibarra, drove the books from Chicago to their destination. The Mayor pledged to the Club to meet with the Rotary Club in his city of 72,000 and work on projects between clubs that would benefit both communities. Many town officials of Cicero attended the meeting including Dennis Raleigh, Town Trustee, who is a Rotarian. The event was covered by two local Hispanic newspapers.
