This year area high schools students will be included in the District Conference as part of the Saturday programming. Students who are members of a locally sponsored Interact club are invited to register for a one-day Interact conference targeted towards the growth and development of the Interact club.

District 6600 Governor Rex Engle shared, “I felt it was important to engage our students in the largest District activity held all year long. By joining Rotarians, hearing from high-quality speakers, meeting Rotary Youth Exchange students and having time to share best practices from other Interact clubs, we can better equip these teens to make a difference in their local communities.”

The cost of the Saturday Interact conference is just $30 and includes meals, workshops and time at the Waterpark located with the Kalahari resort.
