Some of you may not be aware of the Spring-Ford High School Interact Club and the affiliation with our Rotary Club. The Spring-Ford club has over 100 members and is headed by faculty members Melanie Bowen and Julie Quinby. The students are involved in several events each year and contribute to our events and fundraising goals. Each spring we host a dinner to thank the Interact students for their contributions and to meet the new officers for the club. Students and their parents attend this event.

Our annual Interact dinner will be this Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30pm at the Spring-Ford Country Club. Please plan to join us for this nice event.

Here is some information from the Rotary website:

Interact is Rotary International's service club for young people ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting.

Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of - Developing leadership skills and personal integrity - Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others - Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work - Advancing international understanding and goodwill.

As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 10,700 clubs in 109 countries and geographical areas, Interact has become a worldwide phenomenon. Almost 200,000 young people are involved in Interact.
