py just because I was pushing her around in

cart was amazing,” he said. “I was inspired.”

Boone County Interact

FLORENCE – Sixteen youths from Northern Ken-

tucky spent a week in the Dominican Republic in

June in volunteer work with the Interact Club of

Boone County.

The youths, ranging in age from 11 to 18, spent

most of their time painting a church, a school and

local homes in Santo Domingo. They also volun-

teered in a pre-school ministry and visited children

in an orphanage.

“They went out of their comfortable homes and

their comfort zones to make a difference for other

people,” said Barbara Rahn, the adviser to the

club. “They went into a different country and a

different culture and had an incredible experi-

ence.”

The Interact Club is sponsored by the Florence

Rotary Club. The students who made the trip de-

buted a documentary on their experiences creat-

ed by two Conner High School students, Braden

Siebert and Alex King, at the Florence Rotary

meeting on Monday, July 20.

Rahn later presented Siebert with a Leadership

Award for creating a field day for children in Santo

Domingo. She presented a Helping Hand award to
