Ronald Marr, Rotary Club of Ligonier, Ligonier, PA
The dictionaries will be distribued to all third graders in each of the four schools servicing the Ligonier Valley School District. This involves about 186 students plus teachers. Our club has been participating in this event for several years, and find it to be one of the most successful and gratifying projects we do. The kids love it.
James Nisley, North Platte Elks Lodge # 985, North Platte, NE
We have been donating dictionaries in Lincoln County for 6 years. We receive many thanks from the students. The news media in this area provide excellent coverage. This project promotes educational growth and helps the schools. When we started this project many classrooms only had one or two dictionaries for the entire class. Now each 3rd grader receives a dictionary.
Jerry Andree, Rotary Club of Cranberry Township, Cranberry Township, PA
This is the third year of our Club’s involvement with the Dictionary Project, and our Club members love it and the students and faculties in our two elementary schools in our community are equally excited to be part of this program. Excellent program and very affordable rates, thank you!

Donna Ewert, Kiwanis Club of Harlan, Harlan, IA
Our club members will go into each classroom to share information on Noah Webster, the history of dictionaries, give each child a dictionary, and provide some learning games to encourage the use of their “very own” dictionaries. This has been a wonderful project for the third graders in our community and their teachers…and us!
Marietta Wiener, Kiwanis Club of Oak Harbor, Oak Harbor, WA

Scott Rogers, Rotary Club of Troy, Troy, PA
We have provided dictionaries to the third grades of the Troy & Canton PA school districts for about 7 years. We always order a few extra and leave them with the school librarians to provide to new students that enroll later in the year. It is the cheapest yet most appreciated program we do. Many of the students in our area don’t have a... Read More
Stephen Fichtner, Harrodsburg Lions Club, Harrodsburg, IN
This will be our third year to sponsor dictionaries for this school. Of any projects we do, this is the most tangible and meaningful. I wish all of our members would attend the give away, they would certainly find it very rewarding. Super project! I can see the website improving every year. You make it so easy!
Sharry Schwass, Mc Farland, WI
We began donating dictionaries in 2003 after the sudden death of my father, Roger B. Thomas. He was very involved in the community and served on the school board for many years. He believed strongly in education and his community. It is a wonderful project that is so appreciated by the students and teachers.
