THE DICTIONARY PROJECT
"The Dictionary Project" started in South Carolina. The purpose of the project is to put dictionaries into the hands of third graders. These dictionaries are theirs to keep. The organizers of this project are well organized, and have structured the project to make it a success with a minimum of effort. The website includes sample letters, suggestions for labeling the dictionaries, press releases... in short they have thought of everything you need to make the project a success. You may even send for samples of the dictionaries that are offered for sale. Since the current school year is at an end you will have plenty of time to collect information on you school, ordering the dictionaries and make presentation to the school.
There are four things to recommend this project:
GOOD PURPOSE — The Grange has always supported the advancement of education
MEDIUM EXPENSE — The dictionaries are available at a reasonable cost. The books are sold in case lots.
MINIMUM EFFORT — The instructions are very complete. All the thinking work has been done for you. And it would take very few people to finish the project. A small committee could handle it easily.
GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS — This project would make a very newsworthy story for print or radio.
Please consider this project. If you are interested please contact:
