Denys Koyle, Rotary Club of Ely, Baker, NV
I believe that this is the ninth year of participation. We started the project the year that I was club president. It means a lot to me because I had an aunt who had polio and taught school from her wheelchair. Her graduation present to nieces, nephews, and students was always a Webster Collegiate Dictionary. This project allows me to continue a family tradition... Read More

Our group has donated a box of dictionaries to a class at the school for about four out of the last five years. We have enjoyed being a part of this program.

This will be our 4th year participating and it gets better every year. Great idea and the kids are amazed they get to keep the dictionary.
Catherine E McPhail, Garden City Grange # 280, Snohomish, WA
Our Grange has been participating in The Dictionary Project for about 5 years. I think it is a wonderful project–it is one of the best ways to help students learn to build their vocabulary.
Patricia Peck, Rotary Club of Countryside, Countryside, IL
This is the fourth year we have participated in this project and find it very rewarding. I think this is a very worthwhile project.

I began this project in 2005 when I was the Rotary Club President. I am very proud of it and hope that we can continue it for years to come.
Tricia Eidsmoe, Studley Grange # 1174, Midland, MI
This is the 7th year we have done this project. The teachers love us giving dictionaries to their students. It’s a great project.
Jeffrey Kass, Rotary Club of Brookfield, Brookfield, CT
We distribute dictionaries to all third graders in the town of Brookfield (both public and private schools). We have been doing this for many years; I would guess about 8 or 9 years.
Madeline Zega, Rotary Club of Fairfield, North Caldwell, NJ
The Rotary Club of Fairfield has been participating in this project since 2001. We look forward every year to the project because it is one of our favorite projects. We love to see the happy faces of the children when they receive their books. The children are excited because if they had older siblings they know they are getting a book of their own.... Read More

We have given books to all third graders in the Wausau School District, both public and private, for approximately six years. Wonderful Project!
