The event, held at the high school, made  money and paid expenses. Steve Kaity was happy the "Shop till you drop" fundraiser has kicked off for this year.  Leo Bergeron was happy to have some help giving out the last member ticket envelopes  for "Shop till you drop".  Bruce Horne was happy to be cleaning out his golf bag in preparation for his trip to Orlando, Florida.  Christopher Farmer was happy that the ice hockey and track teams did well this year. Christopher was also happy his wife picked him to be her Valentine. Carole Sharoff was happy three students in her son's class have been picked to study at the high school.  One of the three is her son.  David Stotzer was happy that 20 Interact members volunteered at Seacoast Nursing home last Saturday.  Joe Parisi was a proud daddy, noting his daughter chose to spend her spring vacation going to the Dominican Republic to teach children to read.  Dave Stotzer is also proud that Joe's daughter has been nominated to the  Board of Directors of Interact next year.
