We have been doing this for approximately 5 years. We always love to see the eager faces of the students when they receive the books. It’s priceless! One of greatest programs we have been involved with. Keep up the great work.
Jane Durant-Jones, Rotary Club of Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, CA
We’ve been participating for several years – the children and the teachers seem to be especially pleased with their books and look forward to pointing out all the special features of the dictionaries. We really appreciate the fact that you’ve kept the prices low. Our 3rd grade enrollment is up slightly this year for the 1st time in several years, and it is exciting... Read More

This will be our second year sharing this project with the school district. This is a wonderful inexpensive way for our small club to share educational material with children who may not have access to a book or dictionary.

My club has participated in The Dictionary Project every year since our charter. The Dictionary Project is a wonderful yet easy way every Rotary Club in the USA & Canada, and every English-speaking country in the world, can contribute to increasing literacy in the world.
David Wimmer, Rotary Club of Oregon City, Oregon City, OR
We did this for the first time last year in 2008 to huge positive responses from the children, teachers and Rotary members. It is a fantastic project. For some of the children this is the first book of their very own in their lives.

I have been giving your dictionaries to my students for the last several years as Christmas presents. For many of my students, this will be the only dictionary in the home and even perhaps the only academic book they own. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to do something like this that I can afford. Thanks so much!
Mary Kassel, High Desert ITPA, Victorville, CA
This is our second order. One of the schools we donated dictionaries to two years ago contacted our club to see if we could donate them again this year. Thank you for keeping this program alive. The teachers, students and library staff really appreciate them.
