| Fall Fun Fest: For several years, Interact has helped the Putnam County Clean Commision at this annual event. It is a two day celebration of our city that involves food, games, live music, and much more on the city square. The job of the Interactors was to keep the area clean and free of litter. |

| Club Website: The club website, which is updated regularly, helps members stay informed about what is going on, as well as, informing other clubs and individuals about what our club does. |

| Save the Children: Since the club was founded, it has supported a child through the Save the Childrent Program. This year our club decided to follow tradition and continue sponsorship of Joy Das, a young boy in Bangladesh. |

| Heifer: This year our club decided to support the Heifer program. Heifer gives families living in third-world countries animals that help them survive. Any offspring the animals have are given to other members of the community, so eventually the whole community benefits. The club's board proposed to donate an alloted sum of money, and the club members agreed unanimously. |

| Capshaw Daycare: Interactors assisted watching children during a parent meeting at Capshaw Elementary School. That evening Interactors entertained the young children by coloring, talking, or watching the movie with them. This allowed the parents to be able to focus on the information provided in the meeting without being distracted by their children. |
