I believe we have been doing this project for 10 years and given out more than 1000 dictionaries. Kids see me at the store and recognize me as the Dictionary Lady!. I love the way the ordering process went! It has improved for sure.
Linda Placzek, Kiwanis Club of Omaha NE Golden, Papillion, NE
Both the teachers and students look forward to this event every year. This is one of the best projects to serve the needs of many children.

This will be my eighth consecutive year of giving a dictionary to every third grade student in the school district. I tell the students, my Rotary club and others that of all of the things that I do in Rotary every year, spending time with the students and giving them a dictionary is my favorite day of the year.
