Rotary District Governor Dennis Schonewetter and his wife Donna visited the Little Falls Rotary Club this past week.

They are both Rotarians and travel throughout upstate New York and beyond visiting local clubs where they have an opportunity to meet local people as well as bring information about Rotary objectives, programs and the many ongoing successes, especially in the continuing eradication of Polio.

While still a high school senior, his first knowledge of Rotary was when he the local Rotary award for high academic achievement in laboratory sciences. After attaining his Masters at Utica College, Schonewetter was invited by his company to attend a meeting of Rotary as a corporate member. He was hooked and has been a Rotarian ever since. Still a member of the Sherrill Club, he is Interact Liaison Officer for the SRC as well as a teacher advisor for WS interact club.

Interact is a club for young people ages 12-18 who want to join together to tackle the issues in their community that they care most about. Through Interact, you can carry out hands on services projects in your community, connect with other interact clubs locally, in the state or internationally, develop leadership skills and have fun.
In conjunction with our sponsorship of RYLA students, Little Falls Rotary Club will be creating an Interact Club for the youth of our City during the coming year and we hope that many students will be interested in becoming a member.
