The Lehighton Rotary Club has participated for years in this project. It is the one annual project for which club support never waivers. The Dictionary Project is well-known in the Lehighton area. Rotary remains committed to this annual distribution which supports our international literacy efforts.

This is our 4th year. The children and teachers look forward to using the dictionaries. The principal at one of the largest school gathers all of the children, introduces our club members, and tells them about our project. You’re providing a reasonable product with exceptional quality.

This is the third year the Beckley Rotary Club has provided dictionaries to all third grade students in the county school district. Wonderful project. The students are always very excited and appreciative.

This will be our 6th year of donating dictionarys to the 3rd graders in the city of Aberdeen. Both the students and the teachers wait for us each year.

This will be Jerseyville Rotary Club’s eighth year of participation in the Dictionary Project. It is a wonderful program in and of itself. It only gets better when the children find out that these dictionaries belong to THEM and not to the teacher or the school or the district.

Met someone who does this in a club. I live close to a small public elementary school that is not affluent, so decided to ask school if they would like the dictionaries & they said “yes”. I may make this a yearly personal project. Great idea. Books are very affordable.

We find the dictionary a valuable educational tool as we are committed to the concept that reading is the basis of learning. Weslaco Rotary has been participating in this program for the last 4 years.
