The Interact Club at Nelson High School decided, once again, to support the 129 people living at Bethany Residence in Burlington by donating appropriate gifts in time for Christmas. Earlier, students held a bake sale to raise money. In addition, the co-chairs invited Rotarians and others to donate gifts. A great number of items were contributed this way, especially by Fareen and her customers at Burlington Orthotics. In addition, the students in the Interact Club baked goods, which were also taken to Bethany on Friday December 7th. (December, 2018)
