Capital Rotary Club members Rowland Alston (standing) and Jenks Mikell (seated at right) deliver student dictionaries to Arden Elementary in Richland School District One as part of the club’s yearly participation in The Dictionary Project, begun by a non-profit organization in Charleston in 1995 to help youngsters become good writers, active readers, creative thinkers and resourceful learners.
Capital Rotary is giving more than 860 dictionaries to third-graders for the current school year. In the past 11 years, the club has distributed personal dictionaries to some 11,300 students in the Columbia area.
