We think this is a great project and have done it for the past 8 or so years. Teachers look forward to their students getting the dictionaries, and they use them every day in their classrooms.
Walt Palmer, Rotary Club of Denton, Denton, MD
The Denton Rotary has done this project for several years now. The number of local partners is growing.. While more and more information can be found online, there still is nothing like owning your own books, including a dictionary. The looks on our third graders faces and their spoken and written thanks confirms this every year..
Patricia C. Hale, Rotary Club of Prince George County, Hopewell, VA

Jerry Wesley, Rotary Club of Hillsboro, Witt, IL
