Thank you so much to your organization for providing my daughter a dictionary. I can’t believe something so simple can be overlooked for a child and we can’t thank you enough! Best wishes, The Corral Family

My granddaughter in the 5th grade, keeps her Rotary dictionary with her Bible on the "important book" area. She carries this in her book bag, and she brought it over to our house so she could share information included in the dictionary with her grandfather. Joe and Xzavea often research world facts with the atlas and her dictionary. 🙂  

Dear Mr. Merritt, I wanted to thank you, and the Community Service Committee, for the dictionaries that you handed out to the third graders at Cambridge Springs Elementary School, especially to my daughter, Kylie. She came home very excited about her new dictionary and that she can keep it as she progresses through school. As a parent, I was so pleased to see such... Read More

I just wanted to say thank you for the dictionary my 3rd grader received. She kept telling me about all the cool facts it had in it, and about the longest word! It looks like hers was paid for by the Rotary Club in Portland. Great idea – good luck to you all. Thanks, Susan Barrett Portland, OR

 The following comments were posted on a MetroWest Daily News online story about the Charles River Rotary Club’s dictionary project. THANK YOU to the Charles River Rotary Club.

Dear Hawaii Rotarians, In October, my third-grade granddaughter came home from school saying excitedly, "Mom! Guess what? My classmates and I each got a neat dictionary today!" (from the Rotary Club of Kahala Sunrise). Upon further inquiry, I discovered that the Rotary District Chairperson, Gloria King, from the Rotary Clubs of Honolulu and most recently of the Rotary Club of Kahala Sunrise, learned about...
