Verla Randall, Kiwanis Club of Harlan, Harlan, IA
This is our third time distributing dictionaries to 3rd graders. It’s one of the most useful and rewarding projects our club has undertaken. The kids just light up when we give them dictionaries. This year, we’ve already seen some middle schoolers who still have the dictionaries we gave them. That feels good. The project is fabulous! Thank you so much for doing it. And... Read More

Gerald Mondore, Walton Grange # 1454, Walton, NY
Some of the Delaware County Granges have done this for many years now. Walton Grange wants to join the other Granges in giving third graders a dictionary. I think it is a great thing.

Elizabeth Pfaff, South Fork Grange # 520, Parkersburg, WV

They volunteer their time and efforts to bring... Read More
Neil Sikora, Kiwanis Club of Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo, MI
This is the third year we have participated. It has been long enough that children are either bummed out that they missed out on our first year or they are anxiously awaiting their third grade year so they can get their own dictionary. It still amazes us how many students are astonished that someone they don’t know gave them a gift, totally free. They... Read More
