Laura Landis, New London Grange # 2401, Nova, OH

Jeannette Bensing, New Brighton Lions Club, New Brighton, MN
This is the third year we have distributed dictionaries to 3rd graders in our school district. Members of our club distribute books individually to each student with a handshake. When possible the police chief or fire chief accompanies us. The students love to get the dictionaries and the teachers look forward to them each year.
