Interact Club 

Stan introduced Atrina and Kelsie from Squalicum's Interact Club. Interact is short for "international action". Each interact club must be sponsored by a Rotary club. As of this year, 14 thousand interact clubs are registered worldwide! 

 Trina and Kelsy spoke about their club. The club has 75 active members; they generally help out in the community with volunteer activities, such as: 

  • Bellingham Marathon; 
  • Halloween festival with Parks & Rec. Dept; 
  • Old TOwn Cafe Thanksgiving dinner; 
  • Jingle Bell Run; 
  • Valentine's Day arts and crafts at Bloedel Donovan for little kids; 
  • Mothers' Day baskets donated to local women's shelters.
