The Rotary Club of Niagara County Central annually donates dictionaries to third grade students in the Niagara Wheatfield Central School District. Rotarian, the late Joseph B. Emmons, began this project locally in 2006. Emmons wife, Rotarian Marsha Emmons, proudly continues his worthwhile endeavor to bring these keepsakes of written knowledge to the students.

The Dictionary Project co-chairs, Marsha Emmons and David Evans, were joined by fellow Rotarians; club president, David Evans, past-president, Dave Seaman, and the Niagara Wheatfield Central School Superintendent, Daniel Ljiljanch, to distribute 240 dictionaries. The third grade recipients attend Tuscarora Indian, West Street Elementary, Errick Road Elementary, and the Colonial Village Elementary Schools. Wilson Central School Superintendent, Timothy Carter, joined Evans and Seaman to distribute dictionaries to Wilson 3rd graders.

CEO Mary French founded The Dictionary Project in 1995 to provide personal copies of dictionaries to third grade students in South Carolina public schools. It has grown into a national organization. To date, over 28 million dictionaries have been donated to children in the United States and internationally. The Rotary Club of Niagara County Central has provided over 7,000 dictionaries to the third grade students in Central Niagara County.
