In addition, the Brentwood Rotary Club awarded $1,000 Scholarships to students serving as Interact Club Presidents. Those scholarships went to Kaavya Thanigaivelan of Brentwood High School, and Rasti Doski of Overton High School. Interact is a service organization for high school students who desire to volunteer their time to aid school and community, and sponsored by Rotary.
“Each spring, our club offers a pancake breakfast to serve the Brentwood community,” explained Rotary Club of Brentwood President Michael King. “Every dollar we raise is poured back into the community. Our first donation is to fund scholarships at high schools where we sponsor Interact Clubs. We are proud to be able to support these outstanding high school students.”
