Members of the Austintown Fitch Interact Club, sponsored and aided by the Rotary Club of Austintown, have been very busy with fall projects to benefit the community. Membership is open to all Fitch students, and new members are still being accepted by advisor Della McPherson.
On Sept. 27, members donated their Saturday morning for the annual Roadside Cleanup of a section of Kirk Road between Rt. 46 and Whispering Pines Drive. Teamed up with Rotary members, fifteen large bags of trash were collected, with another cleanup scheduled for April. This is in cooperation with the Green Team. The Interact Club also sponsors paper recycling at Fitch, with weekly pickups in each classroom by members.
Students also packed Halloween bags for Hope House in Youngstown, a visitation spot for families with special needs. Seventy five bags were requested and well filled by members.
Members also serve dinner at the Rescue Mission on a monthly basis, joining the Rotary Club on the fourth Monday of each month. Their next project will be ringing the bells for Salvation Army during the holiday season.
