Rohnert Park-Cotati Junior Rotary Club Raises Money for Ugandan Orphan

The Rohnert Park Interact Club — Rotary at the junior and high school level — last weekend gathered for a leadership conference at Redwood Alliance Camp in Camp Meeker, near the Russian River. 

Rohnert Park's Technology High School Interact Club won one of five awards for their ongoing support of a Ugandan orphan. Interact has pledged a 10 year committment to fund his education. In the past 5 years, Tech High Interact has sent approximately $7,500.

Tech High Interact is a community service club sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati.   

"The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals and vocational and career development."

Rotary's motto is "service above self." The District runs from Petaluma to the Oregon border.
