Goals include developing constructive leadership and personal integrity; practicing thoughtfulness and helpfulness to others; creating an awareness of the importance of home and family; and building respect for the rights of others, based on recognition of the worth of each individual.<br />

“Interact is one of Rotary’s fastest growing programs,” said Wegryzn. “With clubs in over 120 countries and geographical areas, Interact is truly an international phenomenon.”<br />
<br />
The Lincoln-Way North Interact Club has been involved in a number of community service projects since its formation last year under the guidance of Lincoln-Way North teacher Amy Madonia, the club’s sponsor. Students are currently planning a food drive and a visit to an area nursing home where they will play Bingo with the residents.<br />
<br />
“Every Interact club project, great or small, has a lasting impact on society worldwide,” said Wegryzn.<br />
<br />
“Thank you for your dedication and service,” added Steve Purucker, president of the Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary Club.
