As you are cleaning out closets this fall, please set aside any gently used coats you may be getting rid of for the Salvation Army Coat Drive. They will be looking for gently used and new coats. When we get a date from them, we will let you know when to bring your coats to our Rotary meetings. Please hold on to any you may have right now.

Interact Update
by Joanie Barnett
Interact 2024-2025
This past week marked the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year for high school students. As part of the exciting start, the Interact Club kicked off their annual membership drive. This year, we are striving to match or exceed last year's membership numbers, which were the highest since the pandemic.
In addition to recruiting new members, Interact organized a food collection drive, which was held during Victory Day on Saturday, September 14. This event was designed to collect non-perishable food items to support local families in need. Victory Day, a significant community event, provided an excellent opportunity for Interact to promote their cause and encourage community involvement.
Looking ahead, on September 25th, the Interact Club will collaborate with Trenton’s City Beautiful Commission. This partnership will focus on beautifying downtown Trenton by planting flowers in various locations.
