This is our fourth year. Each week we have one or more speakers at our club meeting. We give them a card with their name on it telling them that 15 dictionaries will be donated to 3rd graders in their name.

This is our second year. We had more fun going to the schools and talking to the children. They got so excited, you’d think they been given their favorite toy. We think it’s great. Keep up the good work.

Steve Wilburn, Madill Lions Club, Madill, OK
One Madill teacher asked us to buy a dictionary to give to each 4th grade pupil to take home and call their own. We enjoyed doing it and have now expanded the idea to the only other school/town in the county at the 4th grade level. We also will give a copy to all the 5th grade ESL students in Madill to take home... Read More
