The Rotary Club of Carbondale-Breakfast recently distributed dictionaries to each third- and fourth-grader in the Carbondale Community High School feeder schools. The students receiving the dictionaries attend Thomas School, Giant City School, Unity Point School, DeSoto Grade School, Carbondale New School and Trinity School. The dictionaries are purchased from the Dictionary Project. The club has been distributing these dictionaries to third-graders for more than a decade. In 2020, a 'Dinner for Dictionaries' fundraiser was created to help fund the project. The club meets on Tuesdays at 7 a.m. in the Cambria Room of the SIU Student Center. Visitors are welcome.
