Rotary District 5030's District Conference Community Service Project
Rotary District 5030's District Conference will be held in the Tri-Cities from May 16 through the 18th. We will present dictionaries to 250 third grade students during this conference. We ask that each club consider donating funds toward this project. We provided 250 dictionaries last year during the District Conference in Coeur d' Alene at a cost of $ 2500.00. It was a huge success. We would like to make it even better this year. To do so, we ask that each club donate a minimum of $ 100.00 toward this project. All checks are to be made payable to the Rotary District 5030 Service Fund and mailed to me: Cothron L. McMillian, c/o Whittier Elementary School, 1320 NW 75th Street, Seattle, WA 98117. We are currently accepting checks.

ORDERS ARE STILL BEING ACCEPTED!!!

If your club has yet to order dictionaries for local students, it is not too late. New orders will be placed by no later than May 30, 2008 for a June 15 delivery. Deliveries are made to Paratex Pest Control located at 423 South Horton Street in the SODO district of Seattle. You will be notified of pick-up details once the dictionaries arrive in the warehouse.

Call Cothron at (206) 252-1655 or (206) 396-5668 to place your dictionary order and/or if you have additional questions. She will then provide additional information as needed.

Rotary District 5030 Dictionary Project


Thank you for your continued support of this project and making this world a great deal more literate. There is no reason for students not to learn to read and teach others to do the same once they have this and other very valuable tools available to them!

 

PURPOSE OF DICTIONARY PROJECT
Rotary District 5030 Dictionary Project
The District 5030 Third Grade Dictionary Project is a literacy project aiming to provide dictionaries to all third grade students living within the area of our 55 clubs — from Tukwila to Seattle, Bellevue to Kent, Kirkland to Federal Way, Lynnwood to Rainier.

In third grade, students are beginning to learn word and dictionary skills. By giving each student a dictionary to own and take home, these children will have the resource in their home to develop the very important word skills required of all students in the State of Washington. Dictionaries are very useful to all students and more specifically to English Language Learners and students living below the poverty level. In addition, having dictionaries on-hand mean that parents and guardians will be in a better position to assist with their child's homework. In doing so, they will also become more competent learners and teachers of their child.
