Last Week's Speaker

At our most recent meeting, we welcomed four members of the Taunton High Interact Club to share their plans for the upcoming school year. They have quite a list of projects--including charity walks, collecting food for Our Daily Bread, continuing to weave "plarn" mats, sending cards to soldiers at the holidays, and more! Carol offered our assistance to them in any way that we can be helpful. It promises to be a very productive year!

Happy Bucks

Did you know that your happy and sad bucks help the club make a donation to the Rotary Foundation?

Ed had a happy buck. He recently saw Hamilton at PPAC and thought it was excellent.
Joe M. had 3 bucks for the 3 meetings he is going to miss while he is on vacation in Portugal, late August to early September.
Carol Souza had a happy buck for our four visiting Interact students.
Dan had a happy buck to have seen his bypass surgeon recently and been given the "ok" to drive and a general good bill of post-surgery health. He also had a sad buck, though, as he is only halfway to playing racquetball again.
Darrell had a happy buck for his daughter, who is about to start her senior year of college, and just got a job offer for after graduation from the company she was interning with.
