Newport has an Interact Club!

Our club is sponsoring an Interact Club for our young people at Newport Middle School. Kathryn Lowery, who is a gifted teacher at NMS and also at Newport Elementary School is the Club's advisor.
The club will be working at the upcoming Pig Cookin' Contest, helping the elementary school as well as helping their sponsor Rotary Club with car parking.
Everyone was invited to participate in a special meeting held at our Rotary Building on Tuesday, April 5. The Interact Club went through a brief training, were inducted as members and officers, and shared in some social time and refreshments with our Rotary members. Their charter arrived from Rotary International and is displayed in our Rotary building for all to see. 
Since Rotary International recently lowered the age limit for Interact membership, we are very proud to be one of the first Rotary Clubs with a newly formed Interact Club in a Middle School.  Watch for more great things from this energetic group.
