Burnham Grammar Interact Club

On Thursday 25 October 2012, Burnham Grammar School became the latest D1090 Interact Club when they welcomed the Rotary Club of Burnham Beeches for the inaugural meeting of the schools new Club. Nine students had nominated  themselves to be founding members of Interact, to coordinate the charity fund raising within the school. Their president, Zoe Stout, aged 12 is one of the youngest presidents in the country, however the address she gave to over 50 Rotarians was so professional, going way beyond her years with her enthusiasm for this new venture shining through.

Dylan Featherstone, age 14, the club's publicity manager said I felt the evening was a great success, it ran very smoothly. The formality of the Rotary meeting was a surprise but everyone was very friendly towards us and they seemed very impressed by the total amount we raised last year of 6,680. Read more.
