Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people. Made up of members age 14-18 or secondary-school age, Interact gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects. Interact clubs perform at least two projects a year, with one serving the community and the other furthering international understanding. Along the way, Interactors develop their leadership skills and initiative while meeting new friends. Through their service activities, Interactors learn the importance of: developing leadership skills and personal integrity demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others o understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work of advancing international understanding and goodwill Interactors have access to the many resources of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation. Rotary International provides the administrative support that helps Interact clubs thrive.

Interact District Conference

On the Friday of last year's District Conference at Soaring Eagle Resort, we held the first District Interact Conference that ran parallel to our own conference. Students from Canton and Salem High Schools in Plymouth and Madison High School in Adrian attended. The experience was beneficial to everyone so we agreed we should do it again. This year, the Interact Conference will run from Thursday, May 1st through Saturday, May 3rd at  the Grand Traverse Resort. Interacters will join Rotarians for some of the conference and will attend their own sessions on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

Brochures will be mailed the week of March 10th to all Rotary clubs and Interact Advisors. Information will also be posted on the District's web site at www.rotary6400.org <http://www.rotary6400.org>. If you have questions or need additional brochures, e-mail Jeanne Knopf DeRoche at jeanne@knopfcompany.com <mailto:jeanne@knopfcompany.com>

What a great way to "Sow the Seeds..." by encouraging your Interacters  to attend this conference, provide transportation or assist with the registration fees. You can truly "Sow the Seeds..." for our next  generation of Rotarians.
