Really, anyone who wants to be involved in Interact can be
involved in Interact! All that is required is the attendance of 60% of the
Interact meetings. To put it into perspective, if Interact is required to have
two meetings a month every month for the year, each member has to attend at
least twelve of the required twenty meetings. It's that simple!
Joining Interact is as easy as pie! All you have to do is show up to a
meeting! The only other thing that has to be done to make it official is for the
person to sign a declaration of interest stating that he or she will attend 60%
of the Interact meetings for the year. After that, he or she is a full-fledged
member of Interact. It couldn't be more simple!
But more specifically, Interact is made up of four officers (the president,
the vice-president, the treasurer, and the secretary) and eight committee board
members (two club committee chairs, two community service committee chairs, two
international committee chairs, and two finance committee chairs) who govern
Interact.
The president oversees the activity of Interact as well as corresponds with
Rotary in compliance with Interact. The vice-president helps the president do
his job as well as oversees the work of the treasurer and secretary. The
treasurer keeps track of the capital that is invested into community activities
and the like and the secretary keeps track of the minutes during the Interact
meetings as well as any paper work related to Interact.
The Club Committee Chairs are responsible for the "advertisement" of Interact
throughout the course of the year. The Community Service Committee Chairs are
responsible for coming up with community activities and planning them out for
Interact to do. The International Committee Chairs are responsible for coming up
with international activities and planning them out for Interact to do and the
Finance Committee Chairs are responsible for coming up with fund raisers to
provide Interact with capital to invest into it's community and international
activities.
The non-officer/board member members of Interact will be able to choose which
committee that they would like to be a part of at one of the early meetings of
Interact. From then on, they will help put projects concerning their committee
into action.
Interact is located within the walls of the Vestal Senior High School, and
more specifically, in the health room. Actually, that's where the Interact
meetings are. Interact works all throughout the community as well as
internationally, though not as much. So you could say that Interact is located
all around the region....and even beyond!
Generally, Interact meets in the afternoon, right after school, until late
bus. So meetings are usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays for about an hour to an
hour and a half each meeting. As soon as the meetings are scheduled, they will
be listed on this page. All meetings are subject to a possible change, so check
back here regularly to make sure you know about them if they do change. Flyers
will be posted around the school about upcoming meetings and meetings will also
be mentioned in the morning announcements.
