Rotary Interact

Rotary Interact

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about rotary interact. It's a club at my school that does community service projects.

So far I've been to about four or five meetings. Our first project we set up to do is volunteer work at the walk to end alzheimer's. So yesterday at 8 we went to a park and we helped set everything's up. Then the group of people I was in set up fake flowers. If you took a purple flower, you've lost someone with alzheimer's. If you took a blue flower, you have alzheimer's. If you took a yellow flower, you support or care for someone with alzheimer's. If you took an orange flower, you support the cause.

We let people write on the fake petals. Once the walk started we collected all the flowers. Then we went up to the garden and we stuck them in the ground. We greeted everyone at the finish line with posters and bells. Then we helped clean up and helped people find their flowers. It was really fun and I loved seeing people react to a group of about 10 high school students up at 8 helping.

We have two more projects that we're planning right now. The first one is helping elementary school kids. We're going to go over to the elementary school and we get to help the kids plant flowers, do homework, and play with them. Our second project is the cancer awareness project. At one of the football games, everyone in rotary is going to go onto the field holding a balloon that's the color of cancer that has effected them and release it.

I'm really excited to be in rotary and I think it's a lot of fun.
