Vickie Wilkerson-Whitehurst, Clovis Evening Lions Club, Portales, NM

Robert Anspach, Framingham Elks Lodge # 1264, Framingham, MA

Our third graders truly enjoy these dictionaries and we are happy to get them at this price. Thank you so much.

Jan Roland, Rotary Club of Wabash, Wabash, IN
This is a program the Rotary Club of Wabash has done for a number of years. It is so well received that brothers and sisters of former 3rd grade students now tell their teachers that they hope they get dictionaries too. This is a wonderful project. So organized. So easy to use.
