Allyn Adams, Rotary Club of Berea, Berea, OH
We have been involved with this project for the past 5 years. It is one of the most outstanding programs we are involved in. We have gotten terrific feedback from both parents and teachers.

This charter school (Mountain Discovery Charter School) in the far reaches of Western North Carolina has come a long way since its founding and I take such pleasure in doing something that really adds to the third grade. Thanks to you! They are already looking forward to their dictionaries.

This is the 5th year we have given dictionaries to third grade students. The students and school teachers both are thrilled to receive them. Keep doing what you do.

We have participate for several years in this project and find it very rewarding. The members enjoy visiting the students and handing out the books as much as the students enjoy receiving them.

This is the seventh year for our local project. It is extremely popular with parents, teachers, retired teachers, students and donors.
Richard Cook, Rotary Club of Twin Falls, Twin Falls, ID
Our Rotary Club has been participating with this project for the last 5 years and we’ve enjoyed the kids’ enthusiasm as they receive their own dictionary. I feel the dictionary project is great…you are targeting kids at the right age where their minds are so open to learning and challenges.
Sharon Yanz, Walworth-Lakeland Elks Lodge # 2201, Delavan, WI
This will be our second year. It is one of the most rewarding projects we have done as an Elks Lodge. The children are so excited to get a book they can call their own. Everyone is impressed with the contents and information in the book above the beyond the dictionary.
Jean McKinley, Pride of Vista Lions Club, Vista, CA
This is my 3rd year as chair – I think it is our 6th or 7th all told. We go room to room point out features of the book, have the students look up ‘volunteer’ and discuss that idea and the importance of education. We love it and they love us!
Dave and Ruth Mickelberry, Individual, Madison, VA
We have been sponsoring the Madison County school as an individual project for 5 years now. Started when my daughter was in 3rd grade, now she is in 8th grade. We have talked about Noah Webster the last 2 years and we may bring a birthday cake for Noah birthday this year!…maybe cupcakes since this year we have over 151 3rd graders this year... Read More
