South Tahoe High Interact Club held clothing drive for classmates

The newly formed Interact Club of South Lake Tahoe just finished up their first community service project of the school year, a clothing drive. Knowing that some of their classmates may not have the clothing needed to keep warm during winter, the students started a clothing drive.

The clothing will be kept in a room managed by the South Tahoe High Booster Club that will also have non-perishable food items to distribute to students in need. Twice a week that room will be open to students to visit and get needed food and clothing. Those dates will be announced at a later date.

Interact is the youth version of Rotary International for students up to age 18. The South Tahoe High Interact Club meets each Monday in room B-5 during lunch hour. All students are invited to attend. Its a great way to get required community service credits.

This active group of teens is also planning on a service project to help residents of another country, as well as adopting a family during the holidays and several other hands-on projects.

For more information, visit their facebook page or follow them on twitter @VikingsInteract.

The club is jointly sponsored by the Tahoe Douglas Rotary Club and the South Lake Tahoe Rotary Club.
