Happy $: Boo, Tara, LeAnne, Sam, Ron, Pete, Larry, Brion

Educator: A Rotary club in South Carolina started an Interact Club in a juvenile correctional facility. The students said this helped to transform them. One in particular went on to college and joined the professional work force. Because of the turn over in members, officers are chosen on a quarterly basis. They have made a video of their successes and how the Interact Club has helped them. We will try to locate the video for viewing.

Announcements: Everyone agreed that June did a great job organizing the Founders Night dinner. Those who attended had a great evening. Thank you also to those who helped in June's absence. We wish June's husband a speedy recovery.

Fool for the Arts is April 17th. Larry is calling for all hands on deck! Sign up sheets will go around at next week's meeting.

HOG festival is May 12th. The all important ABC permit is secured. The show will go on! Be ready to start selling tickets starting in April!

April is Polio month. The club goal is for each member to contribute $50 or more. Please do what you can.

This Week's Program: Boo shared pictures, stories and a video of her recent trip to Honduras with the KHISH group. The mission of this group is to bring medical assistance to those in need. Boos job was to work with the children while the families were receiving assistance. 175 people were served while she was there with 60-70 students at the school each day. See Boo if you're interested in attending a mission trip.
