A new Interact Club at Moravian Academy was introduced to the Family of Rotary International.  More than 20 students participated this year and were honored at the Saucon Rotary Club on June, 10, 2008.  Ms. Melinda Stitt was the club’s sponsor and Drew Stitt ’08 was the club’s President.  The Vice President is Kathryn Hartmann- Dow ’08. Other officers include Katherine Gleason ’09, Courtney Iverson ’08, and four current students from the senior class.

  The club raised funds for Angel 34, a local non-profit.  Angel 34 was started by Nicole Sheriff, a freshman at Northampton High School in October 2003, during her battle with Ewing Sarcoma. It was her wish for children and families to have their own Angel during their time of need.

Interact is a service club for young people ages 14-18. Sponsored by local Rotary clubs, Interact clubs give young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends. Interact is an international organization that fosters leadership and responsible citizenship and promotes international understanding and peace.

Interactors develop a worldwide network of friendships through exchanges with local and overseas clubs. Along the way, Interactors develop the ir leadership skills and initiative while meeting new friends.
