Dickinson Rotarians continue to give the gift of literacy and during the month October the Rotary Club members distributed dictionaries to third grade students in all public and private schools in Dickinson, South Heart and Belfield. It's a tradition spanning more than 15 years, organized by Rotarian Glenice Hansen for most of those years. This year, 480 dictionaries were placed in the hands of students during a two-week period. It's an effort that takes Rotarians into the classroom, where they meet students, hand out dictionaries and point out ways to use a dictionary. Students can use the dictionaries in school and at home, too. The project is one of the club members' favorite activities, Hansen said. It's more than a dictionary, it's one way our Dickinson Rotary Club can help foster a love or learning and spread the gift of literacy.
