18 Final preparation Have dictionaries and pens organized for each class. Remember to wear your Rotary pens and take a camera (preferably digital) School representative will introduce Rotary project. Greet children, introduce yourself, and tell them a little bit about Rotary. (Do remember that they are 3 rd graders.) Distribute dictionaries and pens. Ask them to open cover and write their first and last name on the line on the book plate. Instruct them to put pens down and tell them that they will be allowed to keep them. Explain that the dictionaries are theirs for home use, that they should show them to their parents, and give the handout to their parents. Either introduce Andrea O’Neill or one of the Rotarians should be prepared to handle the dictionary skills lesson. After lesson, encourage students to look through dictionary. Rotarians should visit with the children individually for a few minutes. Thank teacher and school official. Take extra dictionaries and pens. If teacher tells you that a child is absent, then leave a dictionary and pen behind. If a teacher requests a dictionary for use in classroom, decline tactfully saying that the project is just for the students. After the Distribution by April 5, 2010, each Club should: Send pictures to Gladys Maharam, making sure that the school is identified. Send a brief report of your experience to her as well indicating if anything went wrong, any recommendations for next year, and the high points. Extra dictionaries and pens belong to your Club. You may either save them for next year or use them for Club purposes. Please don’t sell them unless your Club is prepared to collect local and state sales tax. Talk to your board about making this an annual event.
