Interact Clubs Well-Represented at District Conference

By on November 5, 2013

Rotary District 6560 Interact Clubs were well-represented at the Annual 6560 Rotary District Conference this November 2nd. Rotarians and Interactors (representing ten Interact Clubs of Central Indiana) assembled 500 Adult Hygiene Packs for distribution to homeless shelters in their towns or counties.

Peggy Blackard and Bill BattAs stated by one Rotarian, “I think it is important that Rotarians respond appropriately to the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve. The past 15 years of economic downturn has been very damaging to many families in Central Indiana. Many of the area homeless shelters are being overrun with need. We are only doing a small part in helping supply some of the bare necessities to get these people some basic supplies. This project will fill a need and allow our INTERACT students to make a direct contribution in each of their communities.”
