This is the third year of participation for our club. We support 7 schools in the Granite School District in Utah and a Charter school in Salt Lake City. We are pleased with the work of the project especially when books are updated. They are better each time they are improved for the students.

I believe this is our 4th year. The dictionaries are greatly appreciated by the students and we hope to continue for a long time. We are very pleased to be able to take part in this wonderful project. The notes we receive from the students are just wonderful. They seem to be really excited to receive their very own dictionary.
Harold Butler, Rotary Club of Arbuckle Sunrise, Ardmore, OK
