PUTNAM — Putnam Rotary Interact Club President Amayah Chavez passed the gavel to Emily St. Martin, the 2022-2023 Interact president. Chavez, a graduating senior from Putnam High, reviewed her very busy year. She spearheaded participation in the Relay For Life, TEEG backpack distribution, Halloween costume distribution, holiday gift distribution and Salvation Army Bell Ringing. She also started new projects including creating holiday ornaments for shut-ins, a car wash for the people of Ukraine, toiletry kits for the homeless, creating tie dye socks for this year’s Relay For Life and more.
Rotary President Scott Pempek told the club members he learned at a recent district conference that the Putnam Interact Club is one of the most active Rotary youth clubs in the District. He thanked Chavez and advisors Roberta Rocchetti and Woody Durst for a successful year.
Emily St. Martin, soon to be a senior at Putnam High, spoke about her hopes for the coming year including recruiting more Interact members and starting a blood drive for the American Red Cross.
Awards went to: Iayah Burke and Mikayla Walford for all their Interact participation, Emily St. Martin for being top student seller of daffodils for the American Cancer Society and Amayah Chavez for such a productive Interact year.
