Car wash raises money for Heifer International
PUTNAM — Rain forced the postponement of the Putnam Rotary Interact Club Interact Club’s fund-raiser car wash but they tried again on a sunny May 3 and pulled in $492.
The Rotary’s Rotaract Club helped wash cars to raise the money for the Interact Club’s international project. Rotarian Interact Club advisor Roberta Rocchetti said: “This year the Interact club is working with Heifer International to support families in underdeveloped countries to obtain a sustainable food source.”
The car wash donations will be combined with the $330 the club previously raised, giving the club $822 to purchase a heifer and other animals.
Rocchetti said: I was amazed at the turnout and generosity of all that came to the car wash. Last week was a wash out and thankfully Putnam High Principal Heather Taylor and Executive Assistant Putnam Public Schools, Sheila Partlow, worked quickly to make the change happen.”
Rocchetti thanked Rotaract members; Jillian Smick, Matthew Gardiner and Michael Jean and Interact volunteers: Aidan Jeon, Sujong Lee, Lily Beausoleil, Mikayla Bessette, Callum Lusignan and Anthony Beaudreault from Woodstock Academy. She also thanked: Devi Patel-Gandhi, Henrietta Hayes, Emma Martineau from Marianapolis; Paige Perry from Putnam High and Sofia Thurber and June Ferraro (co-presidents of Interact) from Tourtellotte Memorial High School. She said she and Rotarian Woody Durst assisted. 
Last year the Interact Club’s International Project was raising $1,000 to buy a Solar Suitcase kit. They put it together, it was tested and then sent to a school in Kenya to give them power.
