Moraga Rotary Donates Dictionaries to Third Graders
Submitted by Gary Irwin
Moraga Rotarians, from left: John Erickson, Dictionary Project chairman Dick Vance, Al Simonsen, Frank May, Barbara Bruner, Tony Schoemehl, and President Nora Avelar.

Rotary Club of Moraga recently donated and delivered a total of 270 dictionaries to third graders at Camino Pablo, Rheem, Los Perales, Canyon, and Saklan schools, and to an elementary school in Oakland. These dictionaries are now owned by the students. Moraga Rotarians delivered the dictionaries to their classrooms, and gave the children some introductory instruction in using them. Many teachers assign the children to pick a favorite word, look it up in the dictionary, and tell of their experience in a letter of thanks to Rotary. Delivering these dictionaries has been a Moraga Rotary project for more than 15 years.
Moraga Rotary is a local service club within Rotary International that meets most Tuesdays at noon at St. Mary's College. For information, please call Gary Irwin at (925) 376-7688.
