*** INTERACT CLUBS ***

Interact is a Rotary sponsored program that involves young people in meaningful service projects while at the same time develop their leadership skills and initiative. Through their service activities, Interactors learn the importance of: developing leadership skills and personal dignity, demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others, understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work, and advancing international understanding and goodwill.

This year's Interact District Governor is Tom Pae of Newark High School and Lt. Governor is Joanna Ly, Independence High School. According to Russ Danielson, Interact District Chairman, one of the areas of focus this Fall is a membership drive. There were 4,300 Interactors this past year. There are 8 new Interact Clubs in various stages of formation bringing the total to 77 clubs. The Fall Leadership Conference, October 28th, features workshops on the various aspects of Interact. The Interact clubs are being challenged to beat the attendance record set in 1998 at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill. Six hundred and ten members attended that conference!
