Interact

Last year the Rotary Club of Townsend sent eight Broadwater High School (BHS) students to the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA) at Luccock Park south of Livingston-more than any other high school in Montana! And two of the students were invited as Junior Counselors!

Nine Interact Club members from Townsend are going to Guatemala in June. Interact is a Rotary sponsored community based youth service organization with over 20 students from Broadwater High School. The students will travel to Guatemala for over a week to work on a service project with Maya Pedal, visit Rotary water projects in the area, and tour some Mayan ruins. To help pay for the trip, the Interact and Rotary Clubs are sponsoring a Trivia and All You Can Eat Taco Night at the Fairgrounds 4H Building on Saturday May 11.
