The Rotary Club of Blanco County presented personal dictionaries to each
of the 3rd graders of Blanco Elementary School on August 16. The
dictionaries not only contain words and definitions, but also encyclopedia-
type information that the students may use as a source for writing various
papers or composing stories. Included are biographies of all American
Presidents, Countries and State facts and figures, and even common
American Sign Language. We’ve decided that the dictionary should be
identified as a DICTIONARY+.
The BES Principal, Greg Wright, was the first to receive the dictionary+,
presented to him by Rotary President, Doug McKenzie. He then introduced
the presenting Rotarians to the 3 rd graders as well as praising the books
and their value to the students. The nearly 70 students who received the
dictionary+ were excited and immediately began opening the books and
paging through them.
The Rotary Motto is: Service Above Self. The Club’s purchase and
presentation of the dictionaries+ is one example of living up to our Motto.
Anyone interested in serving and helping our community through
membership in the Rotary Club is invited to contact Teri McKenzie at
