Byesville Rotary members attended the induction of 21 new members into the Meadowbrook High School Interact Club. The Byesville Rotary sponsors the Meadowbrook club. Interact Clubs are the Rotary’s service clubs for students age 12-18.

Interact clubs are expected to complete at least two community service projects a year. The Meadowbrook club members have set five goals for the 2011-12 year. Club members plan to provide volunteers to help at Byesville Rotary activities, to have club members participate in the annual Rotary sponsored Four-Way Speech competition, to recruit 10 new Interact members during the 2011-12 year, and to send at least one Interact member to each Byesville Rotary meeting. They are also planning to meet requirements to qualify for the International rotary Presidential Citation.

Current Interact officers Katherine Jirles, Katlynn Tonnous, Kate Kovalchik, and Devon Cork presided at the induction. They were assisted by Sharon Miller and Ryan White, Interact advisers. Joe Waske, Byesville Rotary President, and Tanya Hitchens, Byesville Rotary President Elect, welcomed the new members and congratulated the club on the service activities they participated in during 2010-11.

Interact officers for 2011-12 were introduced: President--Tessa Bickford; Vice President--Brooke Aleshire; Secretary—Trislyn Treherne; Treasurer—Karli Tellep; and Board Members—Jessica George and Brittany Shelton.
