​29 PALMS ROTARY WELCOMES 29 PALMS HIGH SCHOOL INTERACT CLUB

The Rotary club of Twentynine Palms hosted members of the Twentynine Palms High School Interact club at their meeting of November 6, 2024. The Interact Club, the largest student club on the high school campus, is sponsored by the Rotary Club and is dedicated to community Service and the motto “Service Above Self”.

The Interactors told the adult club members about their many service projects which greatly benefit the school and the community. They are currently collecting food to make up 300 Thanksgiving baskets which consist of all the ingredients needed to make a traditional holiday meal. The meals will be distributed to deserving families on November 22, Rotarian Pat Welch has already donated 150 turkeys to the cause. 

In addition to the Thanksgiving baskets, the Interact Club participates in community cleanups, collects jackets and blankets for the unhoused and assists with many community events. 

Chartered in 1948, the Twentynine Palms Rotary club is the longest established service club in the Morongo Basin. Their 22 members meet on Wednesdays at noon at the little church of the desert meeting hall.
