This is our 2nd year of donating and we are expanding. We order in the spring and deliver the dictionaries in the Fall. That way the students get to use the books the entire year. We all at the Rice Lake Elks Lodge think this is the most amazing program. Thanks to all who work and organize it.

The Saugerties Elks Lodge # 2574 has been participating in the dictionary project for 6 years. The 3rd graders have always been excited to receive their dictionaries. The teachers in our district have added the dictionaries as part of their classwork. This is a great program and we are proud to be a part of it.
Vicki Bailey, Greater Birmingham Republican Women, Trussville, AL
When I heard about the dictionary project I knew our club would want to participate. I have heard personal testimonies of others who have been involved in the project and they had nothing but positive comments.
