ROTARY UN DAY INTERACT TRIP
 
Last Year’s Trip: November 6 & 7, 2015 Interact Clubs from around our District were in New York City for Rotary United Nations Day. There were several speakers addressing the topic of equality. Our Interactors and Chaperones took the pledge of 50/50 by 2030. This is an initiative to have an equal male/female ratio on all things from wages to executive positions, military to elected officials, and so on. The speakers discussed gender, no matter what it is, does not determine ability and should not influence position. A highlight of UN Day was having RI President Ravi address the students and take questions. The group also enjoyed a Times Square experience, a visit to the 9/11 Memorial and a Broadway show. We had 47 students; representing 17 Interact clubs attend this year.
 
This Year’s Trip: The cost will be $360 per student for the November 11 & 12, 2016 all-inclusive trip. For more information please see the following. We currently have 40 students from the following Interact clubs: Scarborough-Biddeford-Marshwood-York-Newmarket-Bath-Boothbay-Dover-Westbrook-Winnacunnet-Cape Elizabeth-Exeter-Wells-Rochester. Only a few seats left. Information is below.
