Hi all - February was a busy month in Rotary - but, when is it NOT busy?  As part of my club visit strategy this year, I decided to visit Interact and Rotaract Clubs too!  Last week, I visited the Waxahachie High School Interact Club as well as the Global High School Interact Club!  Those clubs do so many great projects!
