Thomas McDugald, AT&T TelecomPioneers / Decatur LMC, Tucker, GA
As a Telephone Pioneer club, we want to assist our local schools and this is the 3rd year that we have been participating in this project. We are real believers in what you are doing and feel that it is really helpful for the students to have a personal dictionary. Some of the students have told us that this is the first book that...

The Elysburg Rotary Club is proud to a a part of this literacy project. It gives us great joy to present these to the students, and hopefully they will remember the day they received these and become a future Rotarian.

We enjoy doing this project, and to see the young children’s faces light up getting these dictionaries is a very good feeling for us.
Kenneth Low, Elmwood Park-Paterson Elks Lodge # 60, Fair Lawn, NJ
This is our organization’s second year involved with this project, and we had a tremendous response last year. The school officials, teachers, and students were very appreciative of our donation. This is a great project, and we can have a big impact with a minimal cost.
Renee Taylor, Rotary Club of North Clackamas Sunrise, Clackamas, OR
This is our 3rd year of making a presentation to our local elementary schools. The teachers are on board and can’t wait for us to get them the books so they can begin using them for their lessons. This is a great program.
Jahn Kudrna, Rotary Club of Auburn, Auburn, NE
This is the 4th year the Auburn Rotary Club has donated a dictionary to every third grader in Auburn. Thank you for making this an affordable and easy project. I wish everyone could experience the faces of gratitude and pride the kids have when we present them with their dictionary.
Kim Martin, Woodbridge Elks Lodge # 2355, Woodbridge, VA
We are looking forward to getting this great resource in the hands of our children, learning and teaching our children is the greatest joy of all. This is such a wonderful project, with the school districts having DEEP cuts it is nice to know that people/organizations are willing to help our children achieve skills that they will need from here forward.
James Winter, Rotary Club of Silver Creek, Snowflake, AZ
Our Rotary Club is relatively new. This is our 4th year to distribute dictionaries. It’s one of our best projects. We place Rotary Club stickers inside of each dictionary showing community business project sponsors and, after setting up a delivery day and time, Rotary members deliver the dictionaries to one of the 5 schools in our project. We include lively discussions with the students... Read More

Diana Dwyer, Riverside Valley Grange # 1047, Tacoma, WA
This will be our 6th year and we have greatly enjoyed seeing the students’ faces when they receive their book with their name in it. The teachers tell the students ahead of time and so they are ready when we get there. I think the page they seem to enjoy the most is the sign language and the longest word in the dictionary and...
