LISBON – Twenty members of Lisbon High School’s Community Service Club were officially sworn in as charter members of the newly formed, reorganized LHS Interact Club. The students were presented with the LHS Interact Club Charter by Lewiston-Auburn Rotary vocational service chairman, William Denehy.
“Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 12 to 18,” said Denehy. “The program gives teens an opportunity to participate in meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills.”
Students accompanied by LHS Principal Kenneth Healey and Community Service Club adviser Monica Millhime attended the induction ceremony on May 11 at the Ramada Inn in Lewiston as invited guests of the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club.
“LHS students were previously affiliated with the local Lisbon Rotary for many years as a co-curricular club. As a former Rotarian, in June of 2008 the Lisbon Rotary fellowship group reluctantly relinquished their Charter to Rotary International due to economic conditions and a decline in membership,” said Healey. “Without sponsorship of a local club for our high school students we created the Community Service Club. Today, thanks to a new partnership with the LA Rotary Club, Lisbon students will once again have the opportunity to be members of an Interact Club.”
Lewiston-Auburn Rotary meets at noon every Thursday at the Ramada Inn in Lewiston. For more information, contact LA Rotary secretary Nancy Brown at 837-7430 or email brememberedsoc@aol.com.
