Our newly inducted East High Interact board has taken on a project within its first week. They are crocheting wool blankets for the Pioneer Home in downtown Anchorage. The board has members joining at lunch and after school to finish the blankets and hoping to deliver them in the coming month. You will see a familiar face, our Exchange Student Adam, as the Communications Director. The group is led by teacher advisor, Kim Liland and it's obvious they have a lot of fun!
The West High Interact Club has decided to support homeless students at West and other places. We thought of the idea of asking Harry Kieling, our past District Governor, to donate some backpacks from the Rotary Cares For Kids program he started while he was DG. During our Feb. 19 meeting, he brought 16 backpacks to the club meeting. Each backpack had some items in them like a blanket and some toiletries. The club members are talking to Target to get gift cards and talking with the school Parent Teacher Student Association for help to supply each backpack with a water bottle and a West High t-shirt.
