Our Projects

Posted on Nov 05, 2018

Each year we sponsor 2 students from other countries who spend a year going to school in Queensbury and Glens Falls High schools. They are typically hosted by two or three families each for the term they are here. Our club and many other community volunteers work with the schools

and host families to provide a rich and rewarding experience to these students while they are here in the USA.

Dictionary Project

“The Dictionary Project”

"The idea for The Dictionary Project began in 1992 when Annie Plummer of Savannah, Georgia, gave 50 dictionaries to children who attended a school close to her home. Each year she continued to give this gift, raising money to help give more and more books so that in her lifetime she raised enough money to buy 17,000 dictionaries for children in Savannah. Early on, her project attracted the attention of Bonnie Beeferman of Hilton Head, S.C., who began a project of raising money by selling crafts to buy dictionaries for the schoolchildren of Hilton Head and the surrounding communities.
