Warren High Interact Takeover Day

by Lorine Parks

The Rotary Club of Downey was “taken over” and today’s program was seamlessly run by Warren Interact Club.

The five officers of the Warren Club gave us a slide show of the achievements of the Club for 2016-2017. “Only one more week,” and for the seniors, “this year is history,” said one senior, who is going on to UC Riverside.

Among other activities, the club hand-made cards to give to Veterans on Veterans Day, and Valentines for seniors on Valentine’s Day.

They also worked at the “Food Help,” a pantry food bank at Downey First Christian Church; and cleaned and beautified “the Pond” on the Warren campus. Slides showed an empty water hole stuffed with rocks in a dusty corner, as “Before” and “After”, presented us with a clear water pool rimmed with flagstones in an alcove planted with green hosta and trillium, now a lovely meditation corner.

In response to our question, “What can our club do to help support you?” the incoming president, a junior now, said they would like it if some of us paid a visit to their club meeting on campus and saw some of the improvements, such as the Pond.
