The JC Elks has been participating in the Dictionary Project since 2004. 3 Years ago we partnered with the JC Rotary Club as a community activity. We have developed a great relationship with the Rotary Club from working on this project.

The children who received dictionaries last year were thrilled to receive them. The teachers were enthusiastic and we received a great deal of support from the educators for this project.. We think this project is a very worthwhile one. The dictionaries support students and additionally, give students an opportunity to learn about volunteerism in their communities..
Joseph Kowalski, Rotary Club of Milton, Turbotville, PA
Excellent project, well-received by schools, parents and especially students.
Stephen R. Frankoski, Secretary, Guilderland Elks Lodge # 2480, Schenectady, NY
We have been doing this approximately 7 years and enjoyed the response of students when they received the dictionaries. In the past years when delivering them had students come up and say, I still have mine from three or four years ago. This is heartening to know that they remember.
