The Rotary Interact Club at J. Percy Page High School has had good school year, and is looking forward to more good meetings and upcoming events in the New Year.
They had good fundraising events at Halloween and Christmas. Their next fundraiser is the Valentine Rose Sale. Roses generously donated by Heather de Kok.
They had two visits to Ronald McDonald House for the Meals that Mend Program, providing the groceries and preparing and serving supper for 100 very grateful people. They have one more trip planned in March to RMH.
The Rotary Interact Club members organized a fall outdoor cleanup of their school grounds and the Millwoods Park. It earned them an Emerald Environmental Award. They plan to have another enviro- project in the spring.
Carin Jansen van Vuuren, our Rotary Club Youth Chairperson presented at a recent Interact Club meeting, an invitation to all 65 signed up Rotary Interact Club members to apply for the 6 spots we have for the Rotary Youth Leadership camp in early May.
The club designed a new long sleeve shirt and hoodie with the modern Rotary look. The club members were very happy to receive them in January, and are proudly wearing them around their school.
Club President Chhavi Kaushal has been selected to fill the one position we have, to attend the Adventures in Canadian Citizenship Camp in the spring.
The Rotary Interact Club is scheduled to be our guest speakers at an April lunch meeting.
Yours in Rotary Interact,
Eric Germain
Rotary Interact Club Advisor
