Marianne Lindgren, Prescott of Pepperell Grange # 73, Pepperell, MA
This is our Grange’s third year participating in the Dictionary Project. The children are very happy to receive the dictionary. They all send cute thank you notes that make us all feel like this is a worthwhile project.
Lila Innes, The Friends of Cossitt Library, Granby, CT
I believe The Friends of Cossitt Library has been participating in this project for about 6 yrs. I first heard of it at the Passadumkeag, ME, Grange when they did it one year. When I brought the idea to our Friends meeting in Granby all agreed it sounded good. So we’ve done it since and I am the designated person in charge of it.... Read More
Holly Bishop, Home Grange # 129, Vicksburg, MI
I believe this is our 6th year with the Dictionary Project. We love being involved with the dictionary project. It’s so exciting to go into the classrooms and help the kids look up words and tell them they get to keep the dictionary.
Patricia A. Neumann, Bethel and Olalla Granges, Olalla, WA
I think it is a marvelous program and the two Granges are glad they can participate. Olalla Grange #1125 and Bethel Grange #404. Both Granges are in South Kitsap in Washington state. The Granges split the cost so all 3rd graders in the South Kitsap School District receive a dictionary.
Judi Hester Aus, Maplewood Grange # 662, Aurora, OR
This is an excellent opportunity for organizations to help educate our young people. Many of the students that we give a dictionary to have never had a book of their own. They are thrilled to be able to take it home so their whole family can use it.
Billie Somerville, Twisp Valley Grange # 482, Twisp, WA
We have participating for about 7 years. This is a wonderful opportunity for our Grange to give something to our young people that will help them for a lifetime. Thank you for giving us this opportunity.
Mary Kaye Shutt, Hookstown Grange # 1980, Hookstown, PA
This is the third year we have donated dictionaries to our local elementary school. Great program.
Gerald Mondore, Walton Grange # 1454, Walton, NY
Some of the Delaware County Granges have done this for many years now. Walton Grange wants to join the other Granges in giving third graders a dictionary. I think it is a great thing.
Elizabeth Pfaff, South Fork Grange # 520, Parkersburg, WV
This is our sixth year in donating the dictionaries to the children in Ritchie County. It has been very rewarding to go to the schools and talk to the children. I hope we can continue this program for years to come. I think it is a very worthwhile project and I hope it continues for years.
Jennifer Tully, Dunstable Grange # 31, Dunstable, MA
