Our Club enjoyed hearing from the brand-new Springfield Community Interact Club (SCIC) at our September 22 meeting at Maldaners Upstairs.
Advisor Jill Friday, a Spanish teacher at Southeast HS (image above), and Interact students Julianna (1st image below), Thien (2nd image below), Elenora (3rd image below), and Naomi (4th image below) shared how SCIC got started, why it appealed to them, what they’ve accomplished, and what’s ahead.
They’ve been busy recruiting, meeting, serving the community, and connecting with local Rotary Clubs. Some are also pursuing the Rotary Youth Exchange program, hoping to study abroad and experience new cultures.
Right now, the students are leading a coat drive (Sept 22–Oct 31). Looking forward, they’ll be at the Rotary Park pollinator garden ceremony on October 4, and becoming involved in citrus sales, blood drives, and more.
We’re proud to sponsor these amazing students as they live out the Interact mission of service and leadership.
