Sunrise Rotary of Catonsville came to the Huntington Learning Center in September asking if we would be interested in sponsoring their dictionary presentations. As a new business owner, we were interested but unsure how the presentations would work. With Rotary’s guidance and teamwork, we have presented nearly 1,000 dictionaries in the last three months. Every school has been welcoming and receptive and we have gotten some very touching thank you notes from the children. Next year we are looking at expanding our sponsorship to get into more schools in our trading area and perhaps working with additional Rotary Clubs. This project is its own reward! What a pleasure to participate.
