Program:
Michelle Fortin introduced her daughter, Andrea Fortin. Andrea is the student president for Interact at BHS. She showed the club her video project from her trip to Costa Rica. With Rotary’s help, the group of students brought 200 stuffed animals, 100 pairs of shoes and 1000 diapers to an orphanage. During the trip she went to a Butterfly sanctuary, a hanging bridge and an animal preserve. The group also got to see waterfalls and went zip lining.
