5 or 6 years. We have had a great positive response from parents, teachers AND students. If we didn’t think it was worthwhile, we wouldn’t have done it for all these years.

This will be our third year- Rotary is very active sponsoring literacy projects locally. This is a great project – there is a good value for the money spent and it is easy for all Rotarians to participate.

We have been participating in the Elks dictionary project since its inception. Great program. Our principals tell us that the students are seen carrying and using the dictionaries through their high school years.

One of the best projects I have been involved with! The gratitude of the students is overwhelming.

For the last three years we have been participating in the Guys Read Program at Bayside Elementary School in Virginia Beach. Our lodge members volunteer to read to children and we also participate in related events. The kids love us when we show up with the dictionaries. We enjoy the positive response from teachers and students.

We have done this for several years with many Club members participating. All participants are thrilled with the reception of the students to the idea of owning their own book and immediately open it. It’s a wonderful project, third graders receive it with excitement!

We love the kids in our community and plan this program every year. It has been a good bridge between the teachers and community leaders of our local area.

It is a pleasure to be working with you for another year. Best wishes for your continued success.

The Club have been doing this project for over 10 years. The club loves to help the children on our area. Our Club members put together events to help raise the money.
