Elizabeth Pfaff, South Fork Grange # 520, Parkersburg, WV
This year is the seventh year that South Fork Grange has given dictionaries to the third graders in Ritchie County. It is a fun day for the Grangers to spend with the children, and I think the children have fun too. It is a very worthwhile project and one that the children will remember. Keep […]

This is our fourth year of distributing dictionaries to 3rd grade students in the Clearfield Area. It has been very well received and the kids are wonderful.

The Loves Park Rotary Club has been distributing the dictionaries to Harlem students since 2007. The Dictionary Project is great!
Nick Storrs , Rotary Club of Montachusett Area, Leominster, MA
Leominster is a community of modest means – when the children receive a dictionary, they can hardly believe that it is theirs to keep. I know that we have participating in the project for at least 4 years. This is a favorite program of this club–it gives us great joy to assist the schools, where […]
