USA Dictionary Project
The Gift of Words – Serving our Youth Since 2001

The USA Dictionary Project is a proven service project owned and managed by

The Rotary Club of Colorado Springs InterQuest

Colorado Springs, CO USA

This project started from a shared dream between two Rotarians. In 2001 it became a Matching Grant project between India D3150 and seven clubs in Southern C

olorado lead by the Lamar Rotary club. These seven clubs distributed 5400 books the first year. In 2006 ninety Rotary clubs in seven states and seven Rotary districts participated and distributed 19,000 dictionaries.

We feel this is one of the greatest Rotary Club projects ever and we continue to receive testimonials on how this project has impacted our youth. We share these thank you letters with all of our club members. Growth of the project comes from word of mouth. Each of you sharing your stories with other Rotary clubs and districts here in the United States helps this project continue to grow.
