More than 1200 pounds of food was expected to be collected Nov 2 and 3 by the Rotary Interact Club at Kingston High School. Canned soups, stews, and chili. Boxed Meals. Pasta, rice, potatoes, flour and sugar. Nuts. Dried fruit. Cereal and oatmeal. A few of the items on the list handed to shoppers on their way into Kingston’s Albertsons. “This is an annual food drive conducted by members of the Interact Club,” according to Mark Baze, the Club’s Rotarian Advisor. “We have about 30 members on the roster of the Club, about 15 of whom are very active,” said Baze. They recently created and distributed Halloween cards to all 383 students at Wolflie elementary school in a demonstration of friendship. Interact Clubs at local high schools are a staple of Rotary efforts to teach the value of doing good in communities. And to do it.
