Like other Rotary clubs, we feel the responsibility to take on projects that range from international to local. We meet in Montgomery County, Maryland, which despite its reputation for relative wealth, has needs. Our signature local community activities are giving out dictionaries to all the third graders in several local elementary schools and distributing Valentine Day gifts to homeless women. Our signature international activities support Believe in Belize and Inspire Ethiopia. Learn more by visiting our Foundation page.

Please let me know how we can implement your ideas to include more people. You are always welcome to visit our office when your travels bring you to South Carolina. Sincerely, Mary French, The Dictionary Project Director"
