337,050,000 WORDS

That's (choose one):

a) the length of the average DG speech;

b) the reasons given by Rotarians for not attending last week's Assembly;

c) the number of entries in the 9,630 dictionaries that D5130 Rotarians delivered to third grade kids just this year!

All of the above might be correct, but the best answer is "c".

We have just completed the best year ever, thanks to Harvey Freetly's dedication and all of your efforts. And "efforts" is hardly the right word to use, when this project is such a joy to take part in. Those kids excitement to get the books and enthusiasm to dive right in is one of the most heart-warming things that any of us will ever see.
