All past activities have been retained with an objective of adding a net of three members this year and attaining involvement of 80% of all members in at least one activity. The new fundraisers this year will be a "Christmas Cookie Walk" chaired by Linda Eastman and a "Master Golf Tournament Raffle". A new service activity has been added this year, an African Water Project More to come on 15AU17. Last but not least, the Interact Rochester High School Scholarship Budget has been raised to $15,000 plus a $2000 OU Rotaract scholarship to be awarded
