Lori Stillwell, Kiwanis Club of Mount Clemens, Mount Clemens, MI
This will be our second year, and we love this project and the kids love it. We will be putting the kids’ names on these dictionaries individually. We call each student up by name and shake their hands. I feel that this is the best project for the kids and for our club.

Rotary District 5440 has been trying for three years to have all 3rd graders in the state receive books. Last year one person ordered most of the books which were then delivered around the state for delivery to the various schools. Bill & Nancy Pettus, as Rotarians, took on LaBarge and Big Piney since there was no other sponsor for those schools. This year... Read More
