John Howell, Rotary Club of East Portland, Vancouver, WA
We have been participating for about 5 or 6 years. We are excited to participate in this every year. It is one of the most rewarding youth programs that we participate in.
Jeff Roadcap, Linville-Edom Ruritan Club, Broadway, VA
We think this is a very worthwhile program and always enjoy seeing the kids’ faces light up when we tell them the books are theirs to keep and they can write their names in them. They get so excited.

Jean Meehan, Prospect Grange # 144, Prospect, CT
We all think this is the greatest project ever. The children just love to be able to get their very own dictionary. We also provide a bookmark so pages of the book are not dog-eared and thus worn out too soon.
