Interact is our Club's Rotary affiliate at McKinley High School. Our Interact Chairperson, Jennie George, showed a short video last Friday that these Interact students produced, in which they ask for donations of candy that they can sell at the school to raise money for t-shirts for their members.
If you wish to help, you may either buy candy and bring it to our meetings for Jenny to forward to the Interact folks, or you may make a cash donation to provide funds so the Interacters can purchase their own candy to resell. You can bring cash to our meetings to give to Jenny, or you may make a donation through our website: click the "Make A Payment" button on the home page, fill out that form and make sure to enter "Interact candy donation" in the comments section.
Interact is Rotary's attempt to reach out to high school age young people, with the intent of instilling the principals of Rotary and to teach these young people the value of giving back to the community, as well as working together as a team to achieve a goal. It's a great way to introduce them to Rotary, as well as help them with their personal development.
More info on the success of our local Interact Club will be coming in the near future, In the meantime, please support our Interact's candy fundraiser. Thanks!
