Interact Club - Walton High School

The Rotary Club of East Cobb is proud to continue its support of the Interact Club at Walton High School. This group of 14-18 year old students meets each Wednesday afternoon and annually seeks to raise funds and resources for serving humanitarian needs. Their Fall project was a Thanksgiving food collection for families served through the Center for Family Resources. Project Mail Call was their Winter hands-on volunteer activity which included donating and packaging items needed by US military personnel overseas, and donations to Heifer International extended the club's Winter activity. Springtime will be a focus on their Soles for Souls campaign with new and barely used shoes collected and sent where needed. Interact projects are accomplished at school by placing bins in homerooms for collecting requested items, spreading the word, and raising awareness for each project. This year's club includes 29 members, 3 teacher sponsors and one East Cobb Rotary member liaison.

On April 19th a special Youth Service program day is planned by East Cobb Rotary to celebrate the club's winners/awardees of the Laws of Life Essay Contest, RYLA and Interact leadership for this year.

Another in-the-present and looking-to-the-future celebration comes from completion of paper work for certification of a new Interact Club at Wheeler High School, all signed, sealed and delivered by District Governor Raymond Ray.
