Interact Club Holds Successful Fundraiser

 

The Interact club at Southwestern Central School District, which is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Jamestown, now has 25 members and held its first fundraiser —  a public skate and bake sale — at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena on Saturday, April 6. Attendees paid $6 each to skate and bought baked goods in support of the Blue Star Mothers, who provide assistance to veterans and those serving overseas. They raised $380, and during the Rotary Club of Jamestown's meeting on April 11, Rotarians "passed the hat" to raise another $194 in support of the Interact club. The Interact club at SWCS was co-founded by Jared Yaggie, son of Rotarian Lisa Yaggie, and Jillian Lawton, both students at SWCS. They began the club after attending a leadership conference weekend earlier in the year and have focused on helping military personnel and their families.

Interact gives students between the ages of 12 and 18 the chance to make a real difference while having fun. Every Interact club carries out two service projects a year: one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding. To learn more about Interact, click here.
