Christine Hemphill, Rotary Club of Greenwood, Coila, MS
This will be our Rotary Club’s first year to participate. Since Altrusa Club of Greenwood has been distributing dictionaries to third graders in Leflore County over the years, the Rotary Club of Greenwood decided to distribute thesauruses to fifth graders in Leflore County. I am very impressed with the Dictionary Project and hope that eventually every child nationwide will benefit from this program.

We enjoy this project most of all. The students are so appreciative of the dictionaries. It is very gratifying for the club members to participate.

By putting a dictionary in the hands of each third-grade student at Walker, the Cy-Fair Republican Women’s Club has provided an invaluable resource to support each child’s mastery of reading and writing.
Gary Fouraker, Kiwanis Club of Fremont, Fremont, NE
This is the fifth year that Kiwanis has sponsored this project. Our membership supports this endeavor completely and enjoys hearing from the children after they receive their dictionaries. The children are well aware of the project after hearing about it from older siblings and really look forward to the day that we arrive with their own dictionary.
Sharon Yanz, Walworth-Lakeland Elks Lodge # 2201, Williams Bay, WI
Can’t wait to see the children’s faces when we share this wonderful learning tool! So many are excited because now they have their own, just like their brother’s or sister’s.
Cynthia Fallin, Rotary Club of Placida, Englewood, FL
Our Rotary Club is very involved in assisting in the needs of our community. Every year we give dictionaries to the 3rd graders at Vineland Elementary School in Englewood, FL. Some of these children have never owned a book before & just to see the joy in their faces & the proud way they receive their dictionaries is wonderful.

This is a new project for our Rotary Club. In talking with Rotarians from other clubs we have learned how successful and welcomed the project is. We thought it was time for our students to have this great opportunity. The Clintonville Rotary Club has been a service-oriented organization in our community for many years. We are pleased to expand that service to providing dictionaries... Read More
Rosalind Tripp, Socorro County Federated Republican Women, Socorro, NM
We have done this for about 8 years. We think this is a fantastic project and gets a useful tool into the hands of children that probably would never get one. It is also good for them to look up the words instead of relying on a computer to spell.
