Laura Landis, New London Grange # 2401, Nova, OH

Jeannette Bensing, New Brighton Lions Club, New Brighton, MN
This is the third year we have distributed dictionaries to 3rd graders in our school district. Members of our club distribute books individually to each student with a handshake. When possible the police chief or fire chief accompanies us. The students love to get the dictionaries and the teachers look forward to them each year.

Gay Owens, Ouachita Parish Republican Women, Monroe, LA
Ouachita Parish Women’s Republican Club has been participating in The Dictionary Project for several years. The students love to receive their dictionaries and are thoroughly enthused when they are able to explore on their own. OPWRC members and associate members generously donated to support this worthy project.

Ronald Landry, Rotary Club of Austin-Oak Hill, Austin, TX
This is our fourth year, expanding from one school to more than a dozen schools. This is our number one project with regards to hands-on participation by members of our club. Great project!
