Michelle Babineaux, Rotary Club of Gurdon, Gurdon, AR
This project is something I love to participate in. The look on the faces of these kids as their name is called to accept their own book is priceless.

Joyce Hofmann, Lebanon Lions Club, Lebanon, CT
This is the 4th year that the Lebanon Lions Club has donated dictionaries to the 3rd grade students at Lebanon Elementary School.

We then have fun and challenge the students to “look-up” words.

Charlene Shumaker, Kiwanis Club of Eaton Rapids, Bellevue, MI
We have been participating in the project for approximately 5 years. This is a terrific program with the best being delivering the dictionaries and seeing the smiles and excitement of the students as they receive their own personal dictionary. We receive letters back from each student sharing how they are using the dictionary and what their favorite parts are.
Regina Blankenship, Rotary Club of South Campbell County, Pioneer, TN
This year will be the fourth year that we participated in the event. The interaction with the students is great. This project allows members to interact with the students that would not have the opportunity to do so since we have a lot of older members. The dictionary project is the most enjoyable project we do.
Angela Fasold, Rotary Club of Danville, Danville, PA
This is our fifth year of the Dictionary Project!!! We love this project and have found the teachers and students are truly appreciative.
