Dr. Scott and our Interact Club Members recently hosted the District 6910 Interact Banquet on our beautiful springtime campus. Interact clubs from the area came to compete, but more importantly, to work together for the benefit of others. Collectively, the clubs participated in packing 25 crates of earthquake relief supplies for Haiti. They also hosted a formal dress swap with the proceeds from this benefiting Partners in Health in Haiti.
At days end, after fellowship and service, our Interacters, under the leadership of Katie Kalivoda, Christine Shaw, Kena Vyas, Anne Lanier Gilbert, and Alex Pate, took home the grand prize- INTERACT CLUB OF THE YEAR. For their hard work and efforts, they received a check for the Athens Area Homeless Shelter in the amount of $200. While working hard themselves, these students continually spend time working hard for others. They are living examples of the maxim..."Hard work pays off."
