Dictionaries have been distributed to more than 1,500 Wicomico County third grade government school and private school students thanks to the Rotary Club of Salisbury in combination with the Salisbury Sunrise Rotary Club.
This year's project continues the effort that began in 1998 to give students a book of their own, which for many students is the only book they own. The dictionaries also contain an atlas and facts about many other topics.
Rotary club members bought the books, labeled them to show that they are gifts from the Rotary clubs, packaged them, and with club volunteers visited schools in recent weeks to give the books to the students. The project was led by A.B. Brown, a long-time Rotary Club of Salisbury member and local educator.
This program is another example of how the Rotary Club of Salisbury and its members benefit the local community.
The Rotary Club of Salisbury always is seeking new members interested in serving their community while enjoying the company of other club members. Want to be part of this dynamic membership organization? We meet weekly on Thursday evenings for fellowship, dinner, and a short program that ends the meeting by 7:30 p.m. Contact BJ Summers at bjsummers072481@gmail.com or 1-443-880-4296 to learn more.
