Our club was the first in Conn. to do this project which has been met most enthusiastically by the 3rd graders who receive them at no cost and the educators. We started this project in 2002 - 2003. We pay $1.50 per dictionary thru the program. Nationwide, over 3 million dictionaries have been distributed.

Program:
    Peter Manley introduced Bob Hale who stood before us, not as Principal of Westbrook High School but as Magician Bob Hale. Bob is part owner of a magic store in Rocky Hill. He got involved in magic as a youth and has dabbled ever since. Bob performed some "illusions" that got us all wondering, "How did he do that?". His performance was entertaining and professionally done. Great Job Bob!
