On Tuesday Team Ubuntu did Webb School and the Rotary Club of Knoxville proud! The Knysna Rotarians meet on Tuesdays at 12:30pm at the Yacht Club and they invited us to come and talk at their luncheon. They were a credit to Interact, Rotary, and teenagers in general! Each of us talked for a few minutes and gave thanks for their warm welcome. They had just celebrated their 50th anniversary so we invited the Knysna Rotarians to come celebrate RCK's 100th birthday in 2015; showed them our video that was one of the runners up in the global Interact competition; and each of the girls talked about Webb Interact, first impressions of SA, and how impressed we all were with their club and their projects. We presented them with the banner and a bottle of Jack Daniels which they'll raffle off and give the money to a local project! The feedback was very good from the Rotarians and we are delighted to be hosted by them over the next few days. In thanks, Liz Gregor
