Our Ruritan Club received more thanks and goodwill from this project than any we have ever done.

This is the 4th year that the Lebanon Lions Club has donated dictionaries to the 3rd grade students at Lebanon Elementary School. The students receive a dictionary with a their name printed on the inside cover, we discuss what it is to be a Lion and our activities within our community.

We have been participating in the project for approximately 5 years. This is a terrific program with the best being delivering the dictionaries and seeing the smiles and excitement of the students as they receive their own personal dictionary. We receive letters back from each student sharing how they are using the dictionary and what their favorite parts are.

This year will be the fourth year that we participated in the event. The interaction with the students is great. This project allows members to interact with the students that would not have the opportunity to do so since we have a lot of older members. The dictionary project is the most enjoyable project we do.

This is our fifth year of the Dictionary Project!!! We love this project and have found the teachers and students are truly appreciative.

Oakview Grange members have done the Dictionary Project as one of their major annual projects for 7 years now. Over 700 dictionaries have been presented thus far. It’s a win-win for all involved – Students, teachers and the Grange.

Our Rotarians enjoy their presentations... Read More

We hand these dictionaries out and try to interact with them with games. It’s really fun to see them excited about the books.
