Interact Club visits Ronald McDonald House

On Monday January 31, 2011 eleven members of the J. Percy Page School Rotary Interact Club visited the Edmonton Ronald McDonald House.

They helped with some childrens' craft activities, making Chinese paper dragons, for the Chinese New Year, and provided some cleaning services and organized several boxes of donated books.

They then started preparation of their Home for Dinner "Italian Feast" for the 60 to 70 residents of Ronald McDonald House. The residents are out of town children and their family members, who stay at Ronald McDonald House as their "home away from home" during their medical treatment time at Edmonton hospitals.

The menu included Italian buns, Caesar salad, lasagna and choice of black forest and carrot cakes for dessert. The staff and residents of Ronald McDonald House were very grateful and thankful for the Rotary Interact Club's services and for the dinner. The Rotary Interact Club members then had the opportunity to try out the terrific games room at Ronald McDonald House to wind down the day.
