Interact event at Feed My Starving Children

Posted by David Verbeke on Sep 21, 2016

Eagan High School Interact Club hosts event at Feed My Starving Children

EHS Interact Club has selected a date for an Interact Club/ Feed My Starving Children event. We are packing meals from 2:30 – 4:30 on Monday October 10.

We will need some adult volunteers to join us. I have passed this message along to several Rotary club members I know that I thought might be interested. I am hoping for 40-50 kids which would mean 8 – 10 adults volunteering. Are any of you available and interested? It has been super fun in the past.

Rotarians that are interested, please email Bill Wirsbinski, EHS Interact Coordinator at William.Wirsbinski@district196.org
