What's Rotary?
Rotary club members are business and professional leaders who volunteer in their communities and promote world understanding and peace. Rotary's 31, 000 clubs in more than 165 countries and regions encourage high ethical standards and carry out humanitarian projects to address such issues as poverty, health, hunger, education and the environment.
Through more than US$95 million in Rotary Foundation grants each year, Rotary clubs support community projects at home and abroad. Known as the world’s largest private provider of international education scholarships, The Rotary Foundation funds more than 1, 000 students annually to study overseas and act as cultural ambassadors. Rotary also partners with eight prestigious universities around the globe to educate midcareer professionals in peace and conflict resolution.
PolioPlus is Rotary’s flagship program. Rotary club members will contribute US$600 million and countless volunteer hours to help immunize over two billion children against polio by Rotary’s centennial in 2005. Spearheading partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative include the World Health Organization, Rotary International, U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and UNICEF.
Founded in Chicago in 1905 as the world’s first volunteer service organization, Rotary quickly expanded around the globe. Clubs meet weekly for fellowship to discuss local and global topics. Clubs are nonreligious, nongovernmental, and open to every race, culture, and creed.

I love interact because...
Interact is a club that tackles such diverse issues, making me more aware of the world locally and internationally. I feel a sense of purpose and that I am helping just by coming to the meetings. The way we all band together to fundraise for issues is just awesome. Interact gives me an opportunity to help others.

When posed the question,’ why do I love Interact?, so many things spring to mind. The community involvement, the SCARF tutoring, the closeness we have as a group, the good work we do to help people and mostly the fact that at the drop of a hat so many girls from the club are ready to help out for a good cause. It is such a rewarding club and seeing the faces of the people we help makes the time and effort every single member puts in all worthwhile. Interact carries connotations of teamwork, involvement and charity; but for myself and many others it is simply a group of people who love to care. That’s why I love Interact.
