Coral Gables High School Interact Faculty Adviser Margarite DePaolo told us at the beginning of the school year that the club wanted to focus some of their efforts on Rotary's END POLIO NOW campaign. She said they would be donating a portion of their profits from working at the Caroling Competition to Rotary International in support of the Gates Challenge to End Polio.
Also on the Club's wish list was to raise enough money to project END POLIO NOW on the High School to celebrate Rotary, Interact and the fact that we are "this close" to ending Polio forever.
World Rotary Day was a great time to do it!
With the help of Governor Todd Dayton (District 6990) and our Club, Interact was able to get the money to purchase the projection unit they needed to accomplish their dream.
They lit the building early, at 6:00 p.m. with lots of District dignitaries and several of our members in attendance.
But the full impact of the sign wasn't evident until it was completely dark ...
Here is the Club's President Eddie Alsino with Ms. DePaolo in front of the projection which magically appeared on the north face of Coral Gables High School facing the corner of LeJeune & Bird Roads.
Congratulations to Coral Gables High School Interact Club for pulling this off! It's the first building in South Florida to display this sign but you can be sure that since the Club now has the capability of projecting it - it's going to show up on all kinds of interesting buildings all over town.
Rotary Rocks!
Interact is Cool!
