Red Wing Lions spread the word

Donor: Red Wing Lions Club
 

Greetings Mary,

Thank you for your kind letter of thanks to the Red Wing Lions Club.  But indeed it is you and the Project who should be receiving our thanks.

Through your support we were able to provide dictionaries to children in five schools.  The teachers were most enthused about the project and students can have them for a lifetime.  One teacher intends to use the dictionaries in her classroom teaching.

Additionally, several Lions Clubs obtained dictionaries from our Club to show their fellow Lions and those Clubs intend to promote the project for their local schools.

We took pictures of every school and class and provided one picture to each of the teachers.  Simply, the project is all about our kids and their ability to read and communicate.  In our business world today, the ability to communicate is vital for most successes.  A GREAT PROJECT!

We request that any clubs that have implemented the project send copies of the newspaper coverage or pictures that they want to share to: The Dictionary Project, Post Office Box 1845, Charleston, SC 29402 . Articles and photos will be added to the website to share with other clubs.
