BETHEL — The Telstar High School Interact Club, a service organization affiliated with the Rotary Club of Bethel, recently raised $100 in a 20-minute collection at the school to support Rotary International’s Polio Plus program. Polio Plus seeks to eradicate polio worldwide. The Telstar funds raised will pay to vaccinate 200 children against the disease. Here, club members present the money to Bethel Rotary President Alison Aloisio.
