“I Always Wanted a Dictionary!”: The Logan Rotary Dictionary Project
In 2004, Logan Rotary began one of its most beloved service endeavors, the Dictionary Project. For the past fifteen years, Rotarians raised funds to purchase and personally deliver a dictionary to every third grader in Cache and Rich counties. Over the duration of the project, the Logan club has delivered almost 28,000 dictionaries at a cost of $55,400.[1] The Rotarians also purchased Rotary stickers for the dictionaries and once a year the club comes together to place a sticker on every book. Rotary volunteers then deliver the dictionaries to third-grade classes. In order to make such an event possible, a core group of cycling Rotarians raises money by collecting pledges as they ride the LoToJa (Logan to Jackson) bike race each fall for Team Rotary.[2] Rotary also raised funds by sponsoring its own cycling event, Ride Around the Wellsville (RAW). The group enjoyed organizing the bike ride for four or five years but eventually canceled the event due to logistical complications.[3]
