Our Rotary Club is very involved in assisting in the needs of our community. Every year we give dictionaries to the 3rd graders at Vineland Elementary School in Englewood, FL. Some of these children have never owned a book before & just to see the joy in their faces & the proud way they receive their dictionaries is wonderful.

This will be our third year of supporting the Dictionary Project. We love it. We get very favorable reaction from the school, the teachers, the students, and their parents.

This is a new project for our Rotary Club. In talking with Rotarians from other clubs we have learned how successful and welcomed the project is. We thought it was time for our students to have this great opportunity. The Clintonville Rotary Club has been a service-oriented organization in our community for many years. We are pleased to expand that service to providing dictionaries... Read More

We have done this for about 8 years. We think this is a fantastic project and gets a useful tool into the hands of children that probably would never get one. It is also good for them to look up the words instead of relying on a computer to spell.

We have been participating in the Dictionary Project for 5-6 years. Great program, and the kids really get excited when they get them. We get lots of positive feedback from parents.

Shoals Elks Lodge #2860 will be celebrating its fourth year in The Dictionary Project. The students all love receiving their very own dictionary, and teachers find it a valuable learning tool. The Elks are always met with open arms when they visit the local schools with the dictionaries.

This is our 5th year to supply dictionaries to EVERY 3rd grade student in District 150 (approximately 1,250). The teachers can’t say enough about the project and the positive impact the dictionaries have on their classroom activities! The smiles from the children say it all!

The RWLC has participated in the dictionary project for several years now. The third graders and their teachers in Leelanau County are very excited when our ladies deliver the dictionaries to the classrooms. It is even more exciting when I hear from a teenager that they still have and use their dictionary. Sometimes cracking the book open is just as fast as the Web.

We have distributed dictionaries for several years and the teachers say that the children really look forward to getting their own dictionary.
