On Saturday, August 18, the Rotary Club of Doral held a recruiting event for the Interact Club of Ronald Reagan High School in Doral during the school’s back to school barbecue party.
Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 14-18. The program gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends. The Interact Club also serves as a way for students to receive community service hours.
With the help of Rotary Club of Doral members, over 50 students applied to be members of the Ronald Reagan High School’s Interact Club. Students and members from Miami Senior High School’s Interact Club were also present at the recruiting event to help out at the sign up table. A special thank you goes out to Miami Senior High School’s students: Michael Aguiar, Estrella Quiroz, Cynthia Ibarra, Israel Gonzalez and their sponsor and teacher of Miami Senior High, Mr. Emerson Perez.
