Interact Update
The Charity Formal dance will be on March 1st at the Savoy Rec Center. The students are working on a theme and deciding which charity to donate to. We could use some help with possibly two chaperones and any snacks Rotarians would be willing to donate.
The International Fair will be on April 25th from 6:30 to 8:30. The students are super excited about this. I have attached a form if you are interested or possibly to be handed out at your meeting. We are looking for volunteers to run a table or demonstrate some culture. Of course, it would be great if people just came and attended! I am always so proud of these kids.
