Steve Heiser, Canajoharie-Fort Plain Elks Lodge # 2621, Fort Plain, NY
We’re in a rural area and these kids do not have much so they really love getting a dictionary. Been participating for about 5 or 6 years now and really enjoy the program.
Kathy Frommeyer, Newport Elks Lodge # 273, Cold Spring, KY
This is the most rewarding project we have ever done. The students are so appreciative and their thank you letters are precious.
Steven Wasserman, Faribault Lions Club, Faribault, MN
This has been a great project for our club. We have been doing it for about 6 years now, and always get to make a presentation at a school board meeting which is televised on local cable TV, visit classrooms to tell students about our club and give them dictionaries, and get photos and an article in the newspaper. It’s a win-win-win situation!!!
Stefani Woods, Kiwanis Club of Exeter, Exeter, CA
This is the 6th year we have participated in The Dictionary Project. This last year, we have spread the word to other Kiwanis Clubs in California and many of them have started their own Dictionary Projects.
James Glasscock, Englewood Masonic Lodge # 166, Denver, CO
This is our 6th year with this project. The students and teachers love them, and we have heard comments from former 3rd graders still using the dictionaries.
William Chase, Idaho Falls Elks Lodge # 1087, Idaho Falls, ID
I believe this will be the 6th year that we have participated in the program. We feel that this program is one of the best youth projects that we offer. Our donations come from many of our members.
Nancy Larsen, American Legion Aux. No. 235, Marion, SD
I have been a member of the American Legion Auxiliary for nearly 40 years and want to continue assisting children as they learn and grow. This is such a great project and one in which the children would not be beneficiaries unless it existed. Thank you.
Donald Baker, Casas Adobes Elks Lodge # 2663, Tucson, AZ
This is the second time our Lodge has participated in this dictionary project. I think this is a great project. We are proud to be a small part of it.
Will Speight, Rotary Club of Abilene Southwest, Abilene, TX
Our Rotary Club has been donating books to Johnston Elementary third graders for years. The students look forward to receiving them. They each write a thank you letter expressing how the dictionaries help them to build word power and read. On a designated day coordinated with the Principal, our club members will go over and personally deliver them to each student.
Leon Wilson, Rotary Club of Marshall, Leslie, AR
This is a pet project by the Marshall Rotary Club members. They have been visiting the county elementary schools and distributing your dictionaries each school year since 2006.
