The Interact Club based at Llantwit Major School paid a visit to the club at our meeting in West House Hotel.  Twenty-five Interact members led by their President Gemma Satherly-Thomas were welcomed by President Charles Anderson.  Gemma said that their recent Wine and Cheese evening in the Town Hall had raised a total of seven hundred pounds which had exceeded their wildest expectations.  The money raised will go to their three nominated charities namely, Heads Above the Waves which draws attention to young people suffering from depression and self-harm; Plan which assists girls internationally particularly those forced into unwanted marriages and Born Free the international conservation and animal rights organisation.

 

Charles Anderson said that Rotary was very proud of the success of the Interact Club and all that it is doing in the community and in helping good causes world-wide.  The enthusiasm Interact brought to their recent fund raising effort was an example to others including the Rotary Club.  He recognised that many of this year’s officers would be going on the higher education next year but was encouraged to know that other Year 12 students had joined this year who will be able to continue the good work of Interact.  The students were excellent ambassadors of Llantwit Major School for which the whole town should be grateful.
