Interact Club of Dripping Springs High School

Dripping Springs High School Rotary Interact Club

Interact is a service club that gives students 12-18 the chance to make a real difference while having fun. The club carries out 2 service projects per year; one that benefits community or school and one that promotes international.

Interact Club representatives, JT, Pres, and Josh made a wonderful presentation to the club highlighting the club's plans for the school year. The club has already attracted more prospects that last year and promises to be a banner year for Interact. The club's plans for the year include such great projects as:

* Toy drive for Brown Santa

* Dripping Springs Educational Foundation - wifi cards

* Nerf War - was a great way to generate social media for the club in the past and is expected to be again

* Pioneer Days at the Pound House

* Donation to the JK Rollins Foundation for an International Project

* Working with the DS Rotary to sell Mercedes raffle tickets at First Thursday

* The Burke Center Christmas Party

* Veterans Day

* Founders Day Parking

Morgan's Wonderland Project

It is that time again. Are we ready to help our currently projected attendance of 3500 handicapped children at Morgan's Wonderland on Halloween evening October 31, 2016?

It is that time again. Are we ready to help our currently projected attendance of 3500 handicapped children at Morgan's Wonderland on Halloween evening

October 31, 2016? Hopefully the answer is - YES WE ARE!! We are in need of:

Volunteers to work the event
Candy Donations
Monetary Donations to purchase the Candy

The doors will open this year at 5:30pm. The volunteer sessions will be from 5p-7:00p and 7p-9p. We will put 2 adults at each table (we have 8 tables) along with 2 Interact Volunteers for each shift. I will need 16 Adults to Volunteer for each shift to man the tables. I will also need 2 Volunteers for each shift at the Volunteer Sign-In table at the front door.

Our Interact Groups and Mike Canales will take charge this year and make it the BEST year ever. I will set up two (2) hour sessions for volunteers. I will need you to do the following:

1. Go to www.morganswonderland.com/get-involved/volunteer

2. Click on Volunteer Application - NOT Group Volunteer - (Do not put in T-Shirt size - Not Provided)

3. After entering your LAST NAME please put in parenthesis (Rotary Volunteer along with your Club or School Name) and your application will be sent directly to me

Lisa Herring, PDG, Jan Livingston, PDG or myself will be very happy to come and pick up your donations of Candy and/or Monetary donations.

If you would like a Photo session with Ron Morander, General Manager of Morgan's Wonderland present, we can do that too. Please make out your checks to Morgan's Wonderland and put in Comments: Candy Donation - Rotary Halloween Night!

We only have a short period of time to get this done so PLEASE approach your Clubs as soon as possible.

Thanks again for all of your help. If you need to get in touch with me please email me at joannbrowne1@gmail.com or call me at 210.316.5455. See all of you soon.
