URURUR---WWWAYAYAY TTTESTESTEST

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!

Proposed New Member

Austen Carroll is the Market President at Ameris Bank. He as been proposed for membership in the

Rotary Club of Valdosta by Rotarian Joyce Aigen.

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.

Benjamin Ikaal (l) and Jack Hartley (r) pause for a quick picture before

Benjamin heads back to class at Valdosta State University.
