Mary Adams, Rotary Club of Grand Forks, Grand Forks, ND
This is such an awesome program!!!! It is such a joy to go into the schools each year and distribute the books.
Scott Rogers, Rotary Club of Troy, Troy, PA
We have provided dictionaries to the third grades of the Troy & Canton PA school districts for about 7 years. We always order a few extra and leave them with the school librarians to provide to new students that enroll later in the year. It is the cheapest yet most appreciated program we do. Many of the students in our area don’t have a... Read More
Stephen Fichtner, Harrodsburg Lions Club, Harrodsburg, IN
This will be our third year to sponsor dictionaries for this school. Of any projects we do, this is the most tangible and meaningful. I wish all of our members would attend the give away, they would certainly find it very rewarding. Super project! I can see the website improving every year. You make it so easy!
Sharry Schwass, Mc Farland, WI
We began donating dictionaries in 2003 after the sudden death of my father, Roger B. Thomas. He was very involved in the community and served on the school board for many years. He believed strongly in education and his community. It is a wonderful project that is so appreciated by the students and teachers.
Barbara Huffman de Belon, Rotary Club of Lehighton, Lehighton, PA
The Lehighton Rotary Club has participated for years in this project. It is the one annual project for which club support never waivers. The Dictionary Project is well-known in the Lehighton area. Rotary remains committed to this annual distribution which supports our international literacy efforts.
Deborah Koehnen, Mayer-Watertown DandyLions Lions Club, Watertown, MN
This is our 4th year. The children and teachers look forward to using the dictionaries. The principal at one of the largest school gathers all of the children, introduces our club members, and tells them about our project. You’re providing a reasonable product with exceptional quality.
Pamela Ford, Rotary Club of Beckley, Shady Spring, WV
This is the third year the Beckley Rotary Club has provided dictionaries to all third grade students in the county school district. Wonderful project. The students are always very excited and appreciative.
Ramona Ketterling, American Legion Aux. No. 24, Aberdeen, SD
This will be our 6th year of donating dictionarys to the 3rd graders in the city of Aberdeen. Both the students and the teachers wait for us each year.
Fredrick Borger, Rotary Club of Jerseyville, Jerseyville, IL
This will be Jerseyville Rotary Club’s eighth year of participation in the Dictionary Project. It is a wonderful program in and of itself. It only gets better when the children find out that these dictionaries belong to THEM and not to the teacher or the school or the district.
Gerald Dixson, Kiwanis Club of Houghton Lake, Prudenville, MI
The children seem to look forward to the project and the gift of a dictionary. We have been asking them to find the longest word in the dictionary and that seems be a good motivation for using the book.. The project is here to stay in our community. Members of our club have heard of students still holding on to the book we delivered... Read More
