Greeter Schedule UR UR UR-WAY AY AY TEST EST EST This week’s meeting will include students from our local Rotaract Club and Interact Clubs. We will hear from each club, meet some of their members, and learn more about their plans for the coming year. Last week’s program was brought to us by our 2010-2011 GRSP student Benjamin Ikaal. He comes to us from Kenya where he is sponsored by the Bungoma South Rotary Club in Bungoma, Kenya. After his year in the US, Benjamin hopes to return to Kenya and study pharmacy. Benjamin is slowly getting acclimated to our South Georgia lifestyle. With all of our delicious southern cooking, he says his favorite American food so far is a burger. Rotarian and GRSP Host Jack Hartley introduced Benjamin and assisted with the presentation. Myrna Ballard pulled double duty last week serving as a greeter and then bringing our Sunshine Report. While she claimed to have little interest in football, she did share a few interesting team facts that her husband assured the club would enjoy. Myrna, you can report that the club did indeed find these very important team facts informative and funny!

Today’s Program Rotaract Club and Interact Club Updates The Rotary Club of Valdosta is proud to sponsor one Rotaract Club and four local Interact Clubs. The Rotaract Club of Valdosta State University is in its second year at VSU. The four Interact Club’s are at Georgia Christian School, Lowndes High School, Valdosta High School and Valwood School. Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. As one of Rotary’s most significant and fastest-growing service programs, with more than 7,000 clubs in about 163 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon. All Rotaract efforts begin at the local, grassroots level, with members addressing their communities’ physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service. Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self- supporting. Club membership varies greatly. Clubs can be single gender or mixed, large or small. They can draw from the student body of a single school or from two or more schools in the same community. Interact has a membership of over 250,000 youth in more than 11,000 clubs world- wide. It’s one of Rotary’s fastest growing programs. With clubs in over 120 countries and geographical areas, Interact is also an international phenomenon. Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs. Interact’s global youth network is dedicated to community and international service. Every Interact club project, great or small, has a lasting impact on society worldwide. Brazil, India, the Philippines, and the United States boast the highest number of Interact clubs.
