PROGRAM:
Jean Machamer, Advisor to the NWL Interact Club, began the program by expressing our thanks to the school leaders for supporting the Interact Club and for having this meeting today.
Jean then asked each of the six Northwestern Lehigh Interact students to state their name, class level, and why they are in Interact. They all like being of service.
Jean said that currently there are 10 members who are Seniors this school year, and four in lower classes. Thus there is a membership effort underway.
The Interact students have a goal each year to raise at least $1,000 so that they can purchase a ShelterBox. The ShelterBox includes a sturdy tent that holds ten people. And inside there are tools, a stove, water purification tablets, blankets, for example.
Right now the students are taking orders for Krispy Kreme donuts to be delivered around Nov. 11th. A sign-up sheet was circulated and it got a lot of attention.
The students helped out at the Oct 23 Miracle League Halloween Party which was a lot of fun. As the year progresses the students will do a Christmas project and end up with their annual floor hockey tournament. Jean said that they are looking for more projects to support.
