The Rotary Club of Harrisburg is giving a paperback dictionary to more than 650 third grade students in Harrisburg area schools. 

 

The Dictionary Project was launched at our Club when Steve Feinour was president 2016-2017, using a matching District 7390 Grant, and continues this year under the guidance of chairs Ashley Tedor and Wendell Hoover.  A District Matching Grant made this project possible again. 

 

Current President Andy Rebuck says, “We’ve completed distribution to four of the six area elementary schools—and only a snow storm prevented us from completing the distributions.

 

One of my biggest joys is seeing these little folks smile ear to ear when they receive their dictionary and the pride of ownership they take in it.  Thanks again to all RCH members for supporting our local foundation, as  their support fuels many such efforts like this enriching program.” 

 

RCH members volunteer to distribute the dictionaries and interact with the children.
