Stephanie Steinhauser, Fayette County Republican Women, Flatonia, TX

John Wispelwey, Rotary Club of Pequannock Valley, Pompton Plains, NJ
We have been involved for 8 years now and each year it is so rewarding to see the smiles on the children’s faces when they get their own dictionary. So many say that older siblings had their dictionaries and they couldn’t wait to get their own.

Cindy Doerfler, AT&T TelecomPioneers / Midstate Council, Springfield, IL
AT&T Midstate Pioneers have been involved since 2006/2007 school year. We have been able to grow from 7 schools to 20 schools. I love to see the kids’ faces when we go through their new book that they get to keep. These books are a very special learning tool for the students; they not only help with the reading and spelling but with all... Read More
