Daniel Curry, Rotary Club of Harrington-Greenwood-Felton, Frederica, DE
The Harrington Felton Greenwood Rotary Club is only 5 years old and this is at least our 4th year of donations to all 3rd graders. The kids love having their very own dictionaries and the Rotarians (with help from the Interact) love to present them.
