Rotary celebrates World Interact Week
By Ryan Hyland Rotary International News

-- 5 November 2010

During World Interact Week, 1-7 November,
Interactors and Rotary club members worldwide commemorate
the charter of the first Interact club in 1962.
To mark this occasion, Interact clubs are encouraged to participate
in joint projects with their sponsor clubs.
"This week is a time for [Rotary] club presidents,
[Rotary International district] governors,
and RI leadership to give priority to a program that has the power to enhance
our public image and potentially improve our membership,"
says Rajani Mukerji, 2009-10 vice chair of RI's Interact Committee
and member of the Rotary Club of Calcutta Mideast, West Bengal, India.
"Interact is one of the starting points for someone's path to Rotary."
Mukerji, who has served as district Interact chair four times,
says Interactors can contribute their time,
even if they lack the ability to fund meaningful service projects.
"Their main strength and resource is giving their time to volunteer
and aid in projects," he says.
"It's the most valuable thing they bring to Rotary."
This year, Interact clubs and their sponsor Rotary clubs
have a variety of ways to participate in World Interact Week.
Clubs are encouraged to complete one, two, or even an entire week’s worth of activities.
After the club completes their activities,
the Rotary club or district Interact chair can fill
out a Certificate of Recognition for presentation.
Download the Certificate of Recognition.
Mukerji says the Interact: Make a Difference DVD
and the second annual Interact Video Contest are great ways to promote the program.
"If these students are doing something good in the world,
it's important we publicize it," he says.

Geoff, the boy from Belgium, had his first experience of cricket

"Quote of the Week"

When I bought my new Corvette,

my two sons asked me who would inherit it if I met my demise.

I pondered the question, then told them if I passed away on an even day,

the son born on an even day would get it.

If it happened on an odd day, the one born on the odd day would get it.
A few weekends later, while river rafting with one of my sons,

I was tossed out of the boat.

As I floated in the rapids,

I heard my son yelling,

"It's the wrong day!"

YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS

Because it is important







Two men were talking, seated on the benches in the City Park.

"My grandson asked me what I did during the Sexual Revolution," said one

."And what did you tell him?" asked the other

."I told him I was captured early

and spent the entire duration washing the dishes,"

the first man replied.
