Ron / Jean Dahlke, Glencoe Lions Club, Glencoe, MN
As mentioned earlier, the Glencoe Lions have been participating since 2005, and this is the first year the four additional Lions Clubs that have students in School District #2859 are assisting with this project.. The Dictionary Project is great! The teaching staff look forward to having the students receive the dictionaries, and immediately, they incorporate them in their daily lesson plan..

Karen Mier, Kiwanis Club of Bellevue-Offutt, Bellevue, NE
This is the 6th year we have done this. Students mention that their older sibling has a dictionary like this.. This is the best project we take on for community service. Students love the books, and teachers are also grateful.
Paul Ferrigno, Rotary Club of Maple Shade, Maple Shade, NJ
This is one of the projects which we enjoy doing the most. The gratitude which we get from the students and teachers is amazing. We will continue this project next year and the year after.
Bob Ballentine, Rotary Club of Chapin Sunrise, Chapin, SC
It is great project! I really know how much it means to the students when you see them hug their book.
Rusty Morgan, Rotary Club of Rockville, Rockville, MD
We give dictionaries to all of the third grade students in nine public elementary schools in Rockville, Maryland. The schools are always grateful to receive the dictionaries and tell us they would not be able to afford the books themselves. We enjoy helping the schools and the children.
Alfred Mueller II, Rotary Club of Waynesboro, Fayetteville, PA
Having been a member of Rotary team distributing the dictionaries in the past, I think you are doing a wonderful service to our nation’s children. The students love to get their own dictionary. My daughter, who is now in high school, still has hers from third grade and uses it regularly.
Joe Tempel, Blue Earth Lions Club, Blue Earth, MN
The Blue Earth Lions have participated in the Dictionary Project long enough that every student that is in the Blue Earth Area Schools from grades 4 through 12 received a dictionary when they were in 3rd grade.
James Morris, Rotary Club of Oriental, Oriental, NC
It’s a wonderful project. The schools and the kids love the visits to the classrooms every year, and the club loves the thank-you letters the kids send us every year. It is one of our club’s BEST PROJECTS!!!
Shirley Born, Kiwanis Club of Sioux Center, Sioux Center, IA
We have ordered dictionaries for many, many years for our local 3rd graders. It’s so rewarding to deliver these and see the joy it bring to each student. We prepare labels saying they are coming from the Kiwanis Club, and we put each child’s name on the dictionary.
