Rotary Club of St. Paul, Saint Paul, MN
This was my first year as a participant distributor of dictionaries, and what an experience it was. I would love to do this again and make sure that I sign up for more than once. The ability to help young minds to be interested in printed words and own their own dictionaries is priceless.

We have so much fun distributing the dictionaries. I tell people that you would think we were giving them a hundred dollar gift card. They are extremely excited that they own the book. We love the Dictionary Project!

The dictionaries will prepare them for higher education, high school and college.. Conrado U Gabriel, Sr and Leopoldo... Read More
