The Maxwell American Legion Auxiliary Unit 249 has been participating in this project for the last few years. The students are so excited to receive their dictionaries every year and they use them at school in their class. The teachers really enjoy the time the students spends with their dictionaries. Our Auxiliary Unit loves it -- what a great experience for students! We are donating these dictionaries to the Collins-Maxwell Elementary School in memory of Lillian Joor - deceased Elementary teacher. We received the money from one of her husband's friends in her memory. Janice Whaley, American Legion Aux. No. 249, Maxwell, IA 9/8/2010
The Rotary Club of Jackson has been providing dictionaries for several years to one school in the Rankin County School District. This year the club decided to choose three schools from our school district to provide dictionaries to those third graders. Age-appropriate activities are chosen to help club members and students interact using the new dictionaries. Education of our young people is valued highly by the Rotary Club. Our county wishes to encourage our young people and young adults to be successful in life. The project coordinator, Ellen L Dabbs, values education and the importance of the community helping our students be successful not only in school but also in life. This is a small way that our community of Rankin County can help our students. Ellen L Dabbs, Rotary Club of Rankin County, Brandon, MS 9/8/2010

We have been participating for several years. We think it is a great program. Litton deJarnette, Lumpkin County Literacy Coalition, Dahlonega, GA 9/7/2010
This has been a great project to provide dictionaries to all 3rd grade students in the public schools, private schools, and to home schooled students. Literacy is one of the greatest skills to acquire. By providing the dictionaries, we are helping all 3rd graders. I believe that we have delivered more than 14,000 dictionaries since 2004. We partner with the Terre Haute Rotary Club, the Brazil Rotary Club and the Sullivan Rotary Club. They deliver the books. The Community Foundation purchases the dictionaries. We are working to build an endowment fund that will allow for the purchase of dictionaries each and every year. Beth Tevlin, Wabash Valley Community Foundation, Terre Haute, IN 9/7/2010
