Law’s Interact Club is starting off the year excited to volunteer and make memories.

The Interact Club is a club that volunteers together, and it is also a great time to make new friends.

The club advisor is Mrs. Lindsay, who is also the College and Career advisor. Interact Club meets every Wednesday after school in the College and Career room.

New members are always welcome to join the club, and to volunteer.

“Mrs. Lindsay is a very fun, and energetic person, and I enjoy having her be the advisor of Interact club,” senior Kelsey Kopazna said. “She’s very interested in the success of our club and makes it fun while still being able to be serious and organized.”

The girls, who take part in being in charge of the club, are Jonathan Law seniors. Evelyn Castro is the president, Emily Laluna is the vice president, Darby Hudd is the treasurer, and Kopazna is the club secretary.

Every year, Interact Club participates in many different and fun activities, where the club members volunteer and rack up community service hours.

Last year, the club volunteered at the Literacy Center, the Wizards basketball game, and raised money at a wine tasting. Another event that the club participated in was the October Festival that takes place at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport.

The October Festival was a fun time for club members to run around dressed as zombies, and they got to scare people with their costumes. While the members enjoy their time together, they are also able to compile the community service hours they need, as it is required to have 200 hours of community service in order to graduate with distinction.

“My favorite part about Interact club is volunteering, because people are so grateful and thankful, and it’s something the club likes to do,” Hudd said.

The Interact Club also chooses a few of its very pro-active members to attend a camp called RYLA, which stands for Rotary Youth Leadership Awards.

“My favorite event was RYLA and it was my favorite because it taught me a lot of new things about leadership, and I made a lot of new friends,” Laluna said.

The other members who attended the event RYLA, also enjoyed it.

“My favorite event in interact club is going to a weekend camp called RYLA, reinforcing leadership skills,” Castro said.
