Jeffrey Kass, Rotary Club of Brookfield, Brookfield, CT
We distribute dictionaries to all third graders in the town of Brookfield (both public and private schools). We have been doing this for many years; I would guess about 8 or 9 years.
Madeline Zega, Rotary Club of Fairfield, North Caldwell, NJ
The Rotary Club of Fairfield has been participating in this project since 2001. We look forward every year to the project because it is one of our favorite projects. We love to see the happy faces of the children when they receive their books. The children are excited because if they had older siblings they know they are getting a book of their own.... Read More
Fran Bender, Optimist Club of Wausau Noon, Mosinee, WI
We have given books to all third graders in the Wausau School District, both public and private, for approximately six years. Wonderful Project!
Alma A. Szeliga, Worcester Grange # 1274, Schenevus, NY
I believe this will be our 5th year of participating in the Dictionary Project. It is a very worthwhile project, does not require a lot of people or extra work, and just seeing the children’s faces light up when they receive them is extremely satisfying. An excellent program and so easy to make our orders through the internet.
Martha H Register, Seminole County CLCP, Donalsonville, GA
This is the second year the CLCP has participated in the project. Great Project! Please give credit to the Seminole County CLCP and the Spelling Bee team who raised the money.
Martha Velasco, Rotary Club of Hispano-Latinos of SLC, West Jordan, UT
This is the third year of participation for our club. We support 7 schools in the Granite School District in Utah and a Charter school in Salt Lake City. We are pleased with the work of the project especially when books are updated. They are better each time they are improved for the students.
Philip Van Dusen, Kiwanis Club of Leesburg Sunrise, Clermont, FL
We have been doing the project for a few years. We have close ties to the schools and there are many very poor kids in this area that could not supply dictionaries themselves. This is a great asset to the community and we are proud to play a small role in your overall efforts.
Dave Schirmer, Rotary Club of Hamilton, Hamilton, OH
The Hamilton Rotary Club is personally handing 850 dictionaries to the Hamilton City School District and Parochial School System’s third graders. This is our 8th year of delivering dictionaries. Obviously our club believes in this project.
Joyce Hribar Fiebig, Rotary Club of Euclid, Willoughby Hills, OH
This is our fourth year distributing dictionaries to all third graders in the Euclid City Schools. We expanded our program last year to also include private and charter schools. I think it works well as is. Your website is so helpful. I have spoken at other Rotary Clubs to tell them how easy The Dictionary Project makes this process happen. The Euclid Rotary Club...

Jennifer Leuzzi, Rotary Club of Dansville, Dansville, NY
This is our 5th or 6th year doing the dictionaries and the 3rd year of the thesauruses. This is a good idea and promotes our club’s involvement in the community.
