Dear Venita and the Lakewood Elks Lodge, As one of the, no doubt, hundred or more parents of a Devinny Elementary 3rd grader, I wanted to take a moment and thank the Elks Lodge for the dictionaries that they gave to the kids. What a perfect gift for the leaders of tomorrow. I can’t think of a more powerful resource to hand today’s youth.... Read More

Dear Mr. Utchen, Thank you for coming! When I heard you were coming I was so excited! I think you did a great job. Now I will always use a dictionary more. In my opinion I think a dictionary is better than a computer. A dictionary is really helpful! I loved that you came! Sincerely, Lily

Dear Mr. Utchen, Thank you for the dictionary and bookmark. I always wanted to know how to use a dictionary but now I know. Since my brother turned 11, he’s been the smart one and using words I do not even know. And guess what? Now I can look it up in my very own dictionary. How cool is that! And once again, you...

The Barre (VT) Rotary Club has been distributing dictionaries for at least 8 years, and atlases for 2 years. It’s a great program. The prices are low, so it allows our dollars to go further – we’re able to distribute many more books.

Thank you so much for the dictionaries for the students in my classroom. I teach 3rd grade at Berrendo Elementary in Roswell, NM. We have received the dictionaries for students for several years. The students are thrilled to have their very own dictionary. They love to "read" it. I have had several past students tell me they still have their dictionary from 3rd grade.... Read More

We’ve been providing dictionaries for all 4th graders in the county since 2005. We regularly try to expand to include a few disaster-stricken schools from around the country.

Our organization thinks this is a fantastic project which allows all students to have the same book and gives everyone the opportunity to have the same learning tools. We have been participating for the past 5 years. This will be our 6th year.

This is the fourth year we have participated. We think the project is a great project. The students are always very excited to receive their own dictionary.

We have been participating in Dictionary Project for over 5 years, and it has grown every year in popularity. It is one of the greatest programs that Rotary has!

We have been doing both dictionaries and thesaurus for about 10 years. This is one of the best projects we have for great public relations with the community.
