The club’s annual DICTIONARY PROJECT operates under the slogan “To Learn To Read and To Read To Learn”. The Dictionary Project began in Savannah, Georgia in 1995 with a distribution of 17,000 dictionaries. Today the Dictionary Project has a presence in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than 15 countries around the world, with a distribution of more than 24 million books.
