On Friday, April
5, the Meadow Brook Interact Club in partnership with the Byesville Rotary will
hold a Purple Pinkie event from 11:30-1:00 in the high school cafeteria.
Interact members are holding this event to raise money to support the
elimination of polio worldwide There are are only 3 nations reporting polio
cases. It is important to eliminate every case because air travel makes it easy
for one infected person to spread the virus inadvertently to people in uninfected
countries.
Everyone making
a donation will have finger painted purple to show their support for this effort.
Byesville Rotary club members donated $100 to help with the Interact Club meet
their goal. Additionally, club members voted to send $200 to the Rotary International
EndPolioNow fund.
The club provides 5 scholarships to graduating seniors
from the Rolling Hills School District. Jim Bacos reported that applications
are being read and interviews with scholarship finalists will be held soon.
The club finances these scholarships by hosting an
annual golf scramble. The club will hold its 27th golf scramble on
May 5 at the Wildfire Golf course. Larry Miller, co-chair of the scramble
committee, invites all area golfers who believe post secondary education help
local seniors succeed to reserve this date and enjoy a morning of golfing. The
club provides hot dogs and drinks at the turn and provides a catered lunch.
