Interact clubs busy helping others...<br />
<br />
The Interact clubs at Lincoln-Way East and Lincoln-Way North high schools have been busy assisting others, collecting items for an area soup kitchen and visiting residents at local nursing homes.<br />
<br />
“It makes us feel good about ourselves,” said Karisa McInnis, the Interact Club president at Lincoln-Way East High School.<br />
<br />
The clubs, sponsored by teachers Betsy Dugan (at East) and Amy Madonia (at North), meet regularly to organize community service projects, social functions and fund-raising projects. They serve as a service partner to the Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary, which participates in a broad range of humanitarian, intercultural and educational activities designed to improve the human condition locally, nationally and globally.<br />
<br />
The student clubs recently sent their presidents, vice presidents, secretaries and treasurers to a Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary club to update members on some of the projects they have been working on.<br />
<br />
Rotarians were impressed to learn that the student groups have been busy collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House, picking up trash along community bike trails and participating in such fundraisers as Relay for Life.<br />
<br />
“I couldn’t be more amazed than I am by these students,” commented Karen Wegrzyn, President of the Tinley Park-Frankfort Rotary Club. “These students some how find the time to visit with nursing home residents, and work at soup kitchens and so many other great projects; they are the epitome of the Rotary motto, ‘Service Above Self.’”
