Tallassee Rotary continues dictionary donation tradition

Cliff Williams / TPI Tallassee Rotary’s Stephanie Weldon, left, and Carmen Rogers, right hand out dictionaries in a Tallassee Elementary School third grade classroom. The club has been donating dictionaries to the third grade class for at least 12 years.

For more than 10 years Tallassee third graders have been getting free dictionaries thanks to the Tallassee Rotary Club.

For those who are counting, the club has given out more than 1,500 dictionaries.
