Debra Campbell, Perry County Pomona Grange # 69, Newport, PA
We have been participating for the past 3 years, this will be our 4th year. We think it is a fantastic project as it allows everyone to have the same book and gives everyone the opportunity to have the same learning tools.

This project began in Georgetown County during the 1999-2000 school year by the county’s Rotary Clubs and has delivered more than 10,000 dictionaries to area students. This is a wonderful program, and I am excited that it is based in our Rotary District.
