Alan Barr, Tualco Grange # 284, Monroe, WA
This is our sixth year of delivering dictionaries and it is so much fun. The students and teachers are so appreciative and very excited when we arrive with THEIR dictionaries.
Patricia Rauch, Rotary Club of Renovo, Renovo, PA
We will distribute these books to the third grade classes at Renovo Elementary School. We have been doing this for many years. It’s a great feeling knowing that these dictionaries will probably be the only book some students can call their own and use at school and home.
Jeanne Nickerson, Porter Grange # 569, Porter, ME
We love the opportunity to give these books out in our district. This is our fourth year. Thank you for making this project affordable for us. Your hard work is appreciated.

Johanna E Baniak, Watervliet Elks Lodge # 1500, Watervliet, NY
This is Watervliet’s 6th year doing this project. Every year it seems to get better and better. The students and especially the teachers look forward to us handing out the dictionaries. Before the school year begins the teachers stop us and ask if we are going to do them again.
Steve Schoming, Optimist Club of Salina, Salina, KS
I believe this is the 27th year that we’ve donated dictionaries to third graders in the Salina public school system. We’re so glad to have found The Dictionary Project as a source for our dictionaries. I believe this will be the 5th year that you’ve supplied us with the dictionaries for this valuable community project. Every year we receive thank-you notes from the teachers,... Read More
Barrett Glascock, Optimist Club of Ashland, Ashland, MO
