Getting Involved Service Clubs Participate Actively in the Community In addition to the hectic sched- ules of high school life, students were busy working on projects and raising money, not to benefit themselves, but to benefit the community. These philanthropic students were members of the service clubs: Mayor’s Youth Committee and Interact. Con- cerned with the needs of Mesa, these clubs took action to serve the community through volunteer work and fund raising projects. Mayor’s Youth Committee worked to become involved in Me- sa’s activities. The members met downtown once a month with members from other local schools to discuss community projects. The selected members were required to work on two ap- proved projects and attend school board and city council meetings. Interact started off the year with “Pennies for People,” a class competition to raise money for U.N.I.C.E.F. and remained active in the city service projects through- out the year. Interact, an extension of the Mesa West Rotary Club, worked in conjunction with Rotary members. Summing up the spirit of the service clubs, Nancy John- son, president of Interact stated, “It's a rewarding feeling knowing you have done something for some- one else. That’s what it's all about, doing something good for your fel- low man.” Design by Ashley Arnold. Photos by Gwen Gregory. Mayor’s Youth Committee.
