27 February 2013 QVS Interact Club Charter Presentation

Presentation of Charter to the Queen Victoria School Interact Club by District Governor, Cath Chorley.


Scotland's newest Interact Club chartered

Rotary district governor Cath Chorley presented the Interact club charter to inaugural club president Rebecca Johnson at the Queen Victoria school (QVS), Dunblane on Wednesday evening. The event was attended by a number of guests, including members of the Bridge of Allan & Dunblane Rotary club, which is sponsoring the Interact club.
Congratulating the 40 members on becoming Scotland's newest Interact club (for 12 to 18 year olds), Mrs Chorley said that the name Interact is derived from international and action and that the four circles on the Interact logo mean: "you are dependable, reliable, give more than you take and you are available".
Celebrating its 50th anniversary last November, Interact now involves 200,000 young people in 10,700 clubs in 109 countries and geographical areas.
Rebecca said that since the club's inception a few months ago, the members have already undertaken a number of projects. "It started with a duck," she said, "when we were asked to help the Rotary club at their annual duck race, Since then we have baked for and hosted a Macmillan coffee morning; helped the Dunblane Development Trust by clearing and moving wheelbarrows of soil for the railway path clearance/refurbishment; and filled around 100 boxes for the Rotary ShoeBox appeal last Christmas."
"We also organised an immensely popular Talent Show to raise funds for the So Precious special care baby unit at the Forth Valley Royal Hospital, which raised £670. The money will buy a Vapotherm device that helps moisturise the nasal passages and lungs of babies who need oxygen."
'We refer to ourselves as 'MAD', which stands for Make A Difference, and that's what we aim to do. We know there are so many people who need help and we can offer drive, determination and creativity."

Each Interact club has to complete one International and one Community project each year and the QVS Interactors have chosen Mary's Meals and Start-Up Stirling.
