Members of the Interact Club are going to Nicaragua during their
February vacation. A fundraiser has been planned at Dimitri's pizza for
Monday, Feb. 16th from 4:00 – 8:00 PM. The Interact Club will receive
15% of the proceeds taken in that evening. The money will go to the
purchase of supplies needed to complete jobs such as painting a
community center, building eco-stoves, and working in a mobile library.
This includes paint, soap, sinks, cement and other building materials,
and soccer balls or other toys for the children of Nicaragua. All you need
to do is mention the Interact group you order your pizza. The Interact
Club appreciates everyone’s support.
