INC - Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation

Dollar Dictionary Committee

This committee is chaired by: Steve Nissen (h) 303-733-8524.

Hello! 2009 is our 14th year of this project and we need your help! If Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation, our neighborhood organizations, public officials, businesses, and individual community members had not supported this program since 1996 - where would that have left our 3rd graders?

Each of you have helped to provide these valuable resource books - a dictionary and thesaurus of their own to thousands of Denver students. Every donation is important! This includes the change Steve Nissen collects off the sidewalks, the pocket change collected at various neighborhood monthly meetings, CHUN's $1000, and Gene and Sheri Tepper's matching promise of $6,000.

Please note ..... YOU CAN MAKE YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION ONLINE BY CLICKING ON THIS LINK (you'll be transferred to a secure website) OR SNAIL MAIL TO: Dollar Dictionary, P.O. Box 18347, Denver, CO 80218.

• All donations are placed in an interest-bearing savings account and are restricted to this program.

• All donations are tax deductible.

Thank you all for your contributions and support, enabling us to provide these life-long tools to our third-grade students, so they can help themselves to literacy and learning.

In a massive INC and community effort, in late autumn, 19,000 books are unpacked, gift labeled, counted, repacked, and transported to the Denver Public Schools central distribution center for final delivery to 90 DPS elementary schools. The location for this extravaganza will be posted on this website, and you are enthusiastically welcome to help.

Please keep spreading the word. For additional information or to get contact information for your neighborhood school, contact Steve Nissen at 303-733-8524 or pennissen@cs.com.
