I am thrilled to announce that the Interact District Conference of 2025 was a huge success! The 12th conference to date, this IDC went wonderfully; from engaging and fun breakouts to empowering and heartfelt speakers, all tied in with the sharing of ideas, knowledge, stories and successes. To top it off, the picturesque setting of red rocks in Sedona made it all the more a great experience. Thank you to everyone who helped plan, organize, and facilitate the conference, you all made it so fantastic! And thank you to everyone who was able to attend. These events would never happen without interested and excited Interactors eager to come and participate! In other news, our Crutches 4 Africa Ambassadors and their Team Advisors have been revealed! Congratulations to Victoria Arias, Candace Basham, Hugo Garcia, and Lilly Hellman on the Mexico Team, as well as Derrick Boateng, Isabelle Brown, Amyla Buckhannon, Piper Rietz, and Ceiba Sherman on the Kenya Team! Thank you for your commitment to the Crutches 4 Africa Project, and for all of the time and effort you will no doubt put in to make this project a continued success. Along those lines, there are still ways for your club to help support this project! This can be done through collecting mobility devices for our next shipment from nursing homes, local thrift stores, or even garage sales! Also, fundraising is greatly appreciated as well! Doing things like walkathons, restaurant fundraisers, and bake sales is a great way to get involved! The collection of devices and funds are both so important for this project to continue, and all help is welcome! In addition, please continue to kick off the Interact Global Schisto Project in your clubs! This project is growing quickly, and we are excited to see it come to life in each one of your communities. Remember, all you need for this project is a jar and some Life Saver candies; and with just two dollars, anyone in your community, school, or club can save a life! We have high hopes that this kids helping kids initiative will have the capabilities of saving so many lives, and we are grateful for your participation and support! Finally, if you are someone who would be interested in getting even more involved with Interact, apply for District Leadership! It is a great opportunity to get connected with fellow Interactors across the state, and allows for even more involvement in community service and helping those around us. Applications are due April 15th, we hope to see your applications soon! Anise Anise Carroll Covarrubias Interact District Governor |
