We have participated for several years and often receive thank you letters from some of the classes each year. The first year we did the project one child wrote in his letter the dictionary was the first book they ever received. That story touched all our hearts and keeps us giving each year.

This program has provided our Elks Lodge an entry into area schools that has facilitated the introduction of our Hoop Shoot, Essay contest, Americanism & US flag program, and drug awareness education programs.

We have been giving dictionaries for the past eight or nine years to the public schools third grade classes in Leominster, Massachusetts. We love this project! This has been a favorite project for our club. Thanks for helping us to be able to donate again this year. Thanks again for making this program affordable. The children are thrilled with this gift.
