PUTNAM — “Three cheers for Putnam Rotary’s Interact Club and friends who manned the Salvation Army kettles for five weekends in a row!” Interact Club advisor Roberta Rocchetti was thrilled with the fifth and final day of Salvation Army bell ringing.
More than $1,800 was collected and the grand total was more than $14,000.
“It was another wonderful day,” she said.
The Dec. 23 collection helped the club break last year’s record of $13,000.
“We couldn’t have achieved this goal without the support of our local students,” she added.
Help came from Putnam High School: Jay Patel, Keivon Robinson and Delta Wagner. The Woodstock Academy: Maya Rodriguez, Ben Cross, Ela Gadoury, Grace Pokorny, Celine Leffingwell, Madison Williams, Arthur Soucy, Lillian Beausoleil and Sophia Milardo. Tourtellotte Memorial High School: Alexis Phav, Gia Dipasquale, Anna Bell, Jadon Dakai, Adrian Rivera, Grace Akana and Colby Ormerod. Rotarians: Doug Porter, Pam Brown, Amanda Kelly, Michael Rocchetti.
The Interact Club is a regional club for ages 12 - 18 and meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the Putnam Library. For more information contact Roberta Rocchetti -860-933-8603 or
