Interact

For Interact, Christmas and Valentine's Day are particularly busy times.
For Christmas, they shopped for 20 needy kids and wrapped the gifts so that Dallas Kosier could pick them up. They bought Little Golden Bookes and granola bars for Anna Delp to put in with her goody bags for the Head Start kids. They signed Christmas cards and colored Christmas pictures for all the residents at Big Meadows and Good Samaritan, and they sent Christmas cards to military personnel, if people were kind enough to give us the addresses. They donated a few additional gifts to Toys for Tots, and they helped set up and distribute the toys at the VFW. Some of the members made scarves for needy kids.
Valentine's Day is another holiday for which they give cards to all the residents at Big Meadows and Good Samaritan. They also send some to military personnel, again, if they have the addresses. They also send a batch of of Valentine's, handmade or hand colored, to the Veterans' Hospital in Iowa City as part fo the Valentine's for Veterans project.
Upcoming projects include the annual clothing drive right after spring break, and a brand new one, the Carroll County Baby Pantry. They are really excited at the prospect of getting in on the beggining of a project that would benefit residents throughout our district and the rest of Carroll County.
