Many Visitors From Our Interact Clubs at the Dublin High Schools!
It was a great meeting today, as we had many visitors from our 3 Dublin high schools as well as several educators visit to provide updated in the Interact Clubs.  We also had 4 additional students from Dublin Coffman who came to speak about their Ted-x Innovation Drive initiative.
 
Each of the clubs provided inspiring lists of great service activities which they have already completed as well as planned activities. It is great to see these young people so committed to service to others, and we hope they all become future Rotarians.
 
Here are examples from each presentation:
 
Coffman - St. Jude Walk, Dog Biscuits sold to raise money for guide/assist dogs, and St. Jude Really all completed and plans for a Mongolian Pen Pal project
Scioto - Hurricane Relief through Goodwill clothing drive, Donations for Honor Flight, Thanksgiving Dinner donations, Toys for Tots collections completed 
Jerome - Project Linus with 22 blankets made and donated, Cookies for the Convalarium, sold Paper Hearts for Valentines Day to raise money to combat childhood cancers completed and plans for flower pots for Mothers Day to residents at Convalarium.
 
Ted-x Innovation Drive
 
Four very industrious students from Coffman visited to share the initiative they are executing to bring a Ted-x event to  Dublin.  On July 7th, the first independently organized Ted event will occur in Dublin with the topic being "Challenging the Status Quo" with 7 planned speakers talking about Innovation.  These students are seeking volunteers to assist at the July 7th event.
