Congratulations are in order to all members of the Bluffton High School Interact Club as they recently completed and submitted their application for the 2010-2011 Presidential Citation award.
Per Rotary International, the aim of international service in Interact is to encourage and foster the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of youth united in the ideal of service. The aim of community and school service is to encourage and foster the application of the ideal of service by each Interact club member to his or her personal, community, and school life.
Interact clubs are asked to complete the questionnaire (below) to test their activities. Clubs that score at least 30 points, out of a possible 50 points, will qualify for the 2010-11 Presidential Citation.
The questionnaire was reviewed and signed by our club president, Wil Saleeby, as well as the Okatie Rotary president, Barb McFadden, to certify Interact's achievement. The questionnaire was then presented to District Governor, Rick Moore on Wednesday, September 22. (To be eligible for the Presidential Citation, questionnaires have to be received by the district governor by March 31, 2011.)
The answers to all questions on the questionnaire are subject to The Four-Way Test!
Governors must certify the list of clubs that have earned the citation and send it to RI World Headquarters by no later than 15 April 2011. For more information, see the 2010-11 Presidential Citation, available for download at www.rotary.org.
