Golf Cart is Holiday Gift to High School

Washington High School Principal asked the Sun City Rotary Club members for help in locating a golf cart for the school administration to use for emergency purposes.
Washington High School Principal Tami Strege and Interact Club Advisor Jill Green (both members of the Sun City Rotary Club) asked the Sun City Rotary Club members for help in locating a golf cart for the school administration to use for emergency purposes. They explained that the golf cart would provide rapid transportation across the campus. One emergency incident a few weeks ago highlighted the plea for help. A student had become very ill and weak on the east side of the school grounds. By the time that Tami could get there on foot from the campus’s west side, the student had fainted and Tami needed to get the student to the school nurse quickly. A golf cart would have eliminated the additional stress of having no immediate rapid transportation.
Jim Green, club liaison to the high school’s Interact Club, began to organize a committee to find a cart. Rusty Bradshaw, club public relations chair and news director of the Sun City Independent, wrote a news article describing the funding raising project. Before the committee was completely formed, the perfect golf cart was given!
Michael Lyons called to tell Jim Green that he and his wife Heather (both past club presidents) had a golf cart in their garage that they wanted to give to the Interact Club and the school. Jim exclaimed, “This gift will affect more than 1,200 students and faculty members -- Rotary at work in our community at its best!”
The Washington High School Interact Club is considered the largest and most active Interact Club in the world. As of December 1, the Club’s members have completed more than 40 projects this year. According to Jim Green, one of the first Interact projects for December will be adding the right logos to the cart and presenting it to the school’s officials.
