The District Interact Committee led the year with a successful leadership “Summit” activity that included breakout sessions for Interactors, Faculty Advisors and Rotary Club Interact Advisors. The event was sponsored by the DeSoto Rotary Club and held at DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas. This activity was unique in that it was led by one Interact District Governor, RYLArian, RYE , Rotaractor, Facualty Advisor and a District Interact Committee Rotarian. This activity also included for a second year “The House of InterAction”, which showcases district service projects in which the youth can participate. This was a huge success with more than 15 district Rotary Clubs and various Youth Services.

DG William “Bill" Dendy allowed me, as District Interact Chair, to develop new youth programs while thinking “outside the box”. I believe this freedom inspired our district youth to become more involved with their local Rotary Clubs.
