We have so much fun distributing the dictionaries. I tell people that you would think we were giving them a hundred dollar gift card. They are extremely excited that they own the book. We love the Dictionary Project!

Kelly Wilson, Rotary Club of Tracy, Tracy, CA
My fellow Rotarians tell me that this is one of the most rewarding projects they are a part of. They love visiting the schools and seeing the kids faces when they get their dictionary. This is our 4th year and we plan on doing this project for many more years!
Amanda Hyer, Rotary Club of Twin Falls, Twin Falls, ID
We wish to encourage the lifelong hobby of reading by providing a means for the kids to look up words in their own dictionary. We love this project! The enthusiasm from the kids is refreshing, and it reminds us the importance of giving something so small that creates something so big in the future.
Beverly Marvin, Fairport Grange # 467, Macedon, NY
We have participated now for several years, and everyone enjoys going to the schools and meeting the students and seeing their appreciation for receiving the books. We think this is a great program. Kids today need all the encouragement they can get to learn to read and write and to enjoy it.
Jo Hackbarth, La Marque Dentists for Education, Texas City, TX
This is the second year the dentists of La Marque, TX, have contributed to purchase dictionaries for the third-grade students of our local school district. The children are so proud to each have their very own dictionary, and the teachers are grateful that every child has one to use during this important year in their education.
Toni Bradford, Rotary Club of Evanston, Evanston, WY
This is the 4th year we have presented dictionaries to every 3rd grader in Uinta County. We try to present the dictionaries when the teachers are teaching the students about dictionaries & how to use them. Both teachers & students love this program we have started.
