Mary McIlvaine, Rotary Club of Cheyenne, Cheyenne, WY
My husband and I have been working on the dictionary project for several years. We try each year to get books to all the third graders in Wyoming. This is accomplished mostly because of Rotarians. Nothing is more important to a kid’s success than reading. Keep up the good work!!!!

Mid-Marion County Rotary Club was participating in this project before I joined Rotary and that was seven years ago. We love being a part of the Dictionary Project. Each year we receive letters from the students telling us how much they appreciate them.
