Clearly Emmaus Rotary Club has been hard at work serving our community in a multitude of ways over the last 3 months. I wanted to take a moment to share with you that our Emmaus High School Interact Club has also been busy making a difference. Over the last few weeks Interact participated alongside ERC at the Mircale League Trick or Treat and The Knauss Homestead/Emmaus Remembrance Garden Clean up. This very active Interact Club has also been creating and implementing their own meaningful service projects. I am so impressed by this group of Students and enjoy working with Interact Advisor Amy Kaunitz. Our Youth Service Committee Chair Tony Moyer and Community Service Chair, Karen Hobson have also been hard at work making sure that the lines of communication between ERC and EHS Interact are open and supportive. Stay tuned for more Interaction with our Interact Club!

Interact read, sorted, and counted over 1500 letters to mail to our American servicemen and women.
Branch, our EHS Therapy Dog, and the Interact Club teamed up to help the Sanctuary by collecting towels for the dogs and cats at the shelter. Pictured are Branch and Amanda Gross, Interact Treasurer.
Emmaus Interact Students showed up in a big way to help at the Emmaus Remembrance Garden Clean up on 11/12/22! We also had some talented Chef's on deck to help prepare meals for the Allentown Rescue Mission.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW THIS WEEK:
