The Dictionary Project is a long-standing Rotary tradition and a collaboration between three Lincoln Rotary clubs to provide a dictionary to every third grade student in the city of Lincoln (both public & private schools). There are 2 parts to the project: (1) the Labeling Party, and (2) Dictionary Delivery. We invite you to be part of both!
Labeling Party
This gathering of volunteers from 3 Lincoln Rotary clubs is an evening of fun as we gather to place Rotary labels in the front inside cover of almost 4,000 dictionaries. Then we box them up in the quantities needed for each school. If you are also delivering dictionaries, you can take your boxes with you after the labeling party. Come hungry, as pizza will be provided! Here are the details for the party:
Tuesday, September 29 at 5:30 p.m. until done (usually 60-90 minutes)
St. Paul United Methodist Church, 1144 M Street (south entrance)

Dictionary Delivery
Between October 1 and 31, we need volunteers to deliver dictionaries to third grade classrooms. There is not a specific date for delivery, but a time frame during which volunteers contact the school and set up a date and time. The schools on the sign-up are the ones that Rotary 14 is assigned. Other schools are assigned to the other Rotary clubs.
Note: Lincoln Public Schools will begin a dictionary unit for their third graders in November, so our goal is to have all dictionaries delivered in time for that.

We hope you can make it to the labeling party. It's a great opportunity to come together as a Club, along with the Lincoln South and East Rotary Clubs, for an evening of connecting, collaboration, and FUN!
