Thomas Peeks, president of Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary (LSR), observes as a third-grader at Springhill Elementary School in Lafayette looks up a word in the personal copy of the Webster's Children's Dictionary he just received from the club. This marks the 13th consecutive year LSR has donated dictionaries to every third-grader attending public school in the city. In all, some 300 copies were distributed. Since the inception of the program in 1998, the club has invested nearly $50,000 total in purchasing the dictionaries. Like all Rotary clubs internationally, LSR is an ardent and enthusiastic supporter of education.
