News from the Taunton High Interact Club:

The Interact Club is hosting a Coat Drive! Please consider donating any gently used winter gear items and bring them to our January 30th meeting. Club liaison Will Mendonca will collect items and get them to the Interact Club.

...we welcomed club member Michael Cancilliere to present, but this time as a donation recipient on behalf of Cooperative Production. As President and CEO, Michael is in charge of carrying out the organization's mission "to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and brain injuries as valued members of their communities, with opportunities for meaningful participation in areas of personal pursuit."

We heard a bit about Michael's background and vision for CO-OP at his classification talk not too long ago, so, in thanks for the club's donation, Michael shared about a conversation he had in an interview for a new CFO recently. In talking about CO-OP and the work they do, he shared how it closely aligns with Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self." Furthermore, when organizations with like-minded goals collaborate, both are able to achieve more and Michael shared some of the connections and successes he has had through Rotary.

Thanks to Michael for presenting to the club, and we appreciate all the good work you do for our community!
