Our speakers will be high school students who are actively involved in Interact from Klein Forest High School.  Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 to 18.  There are 14,911 Interact clubs worldwide in 145 countries. In Rotary District 5890 we have 62 Interact clubs with more than 3,000 members.

Club membership varies greatly. Clubs can be single gender or mixed, large or small. They can draw from the student body of a single school or from two or more schools in the same community.

Each year, Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of

• Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
• Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
• Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
• Advancing international understanding and goodwill                                                              

Important training required for President's Elect to be trained for leading the Rotary club.
