Interactor of the Month, Maddy Bellofatto
The Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club honored Maddy Bellofatto as their Interactor of the Month for February. The certificate read by Bob Schaumann to the assembled Rotarians pointed to Maddy's service to the Conant Interact Club via her membership on the Services Committee. Among her activities, Maddy wrote holiday letters to the elderly this past December; she serves meals at the Keene Community Kitchen, as well as spearheads a blanket-making class at Conant so that Interact can donate to the LINUS project. She has sold bracelets to raise money for the American Red Cross. She's even taken her artistic talents and painted murals for the Conant High School library. Congratulations, Maddy, as our Interactor of the Month! With Maddy is her grandmother, Annia (Second from Right), and Rotarian Sheila Roberge, Rotary Club Advisor to Interact, who presented Maddy with a Gift Certificate to the Toadstool Book Store.
