Teresa Bickford, President of Interact, and Jessica George, Interact Board member and club photographer, gave a brief report to Byesville Rotary about Interact plans for the coming year.
The club is considering several types of service projects for the coming year. Interact clubs are expected to complete at least two community service projects a year. Club members are considering the following projects for 2011-12—Pennies for Polio, raising money for a Shelterbox, helping the Byesville Rotary collect and distribute food for the Rotary’s Christmas Food basket program, and sponsoring a talent show.
Interact clubs are Rotary’s service clubs for young people ages 14-18. Rotary clubs sponsor Interact clubs in order to encourage the development of leadership skills and personal integrity, encourage an appreciation of individual responsibility and hard work in young people.
The Meadowbrook club is sponsored by the Byesville Rotary Club. Interact clubs are self-governing and self-supporting. Club membership varies greatly. Clubs can be single gender or mixed, large or small. They can draw from the student body of a single school or from two or more schools in the same community.
The members of the Meadowbrook Interact Club are joining the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service. There are more than 10,700 Interact clubs in 109 countries and geographical areas with members totaling almost 200,000 young people.
At the Rotary business meeting, Tanya Hitchens reminded members that the District Governor will visit the club at the September 20 meeting. A membership breakfast will also be held on the 20th. Current members are asked to invite prospective members to the breakfast. Reservations for the breakfast are needed by September 13. There will also be an evening reception on Monday or club members to meet the District Governor.
The club meets 7:30 am every Tuesday at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 (GPS use 60299) Southgate Road, Byesville. Anyone interested in learning more about the Byesville Rotary can call Membership Chairs Marty Patchen, 740-685-3828, or Randy Launder, 740-801-0017.
