"Alan, Thank you for giving so much of your time to organize and implement the Dictionary Project again this year. Your dedication to improve literacy where you live has had a profound impact on the children in your community. Your kindness and support show what community service looks like. 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"
