Interact Club puts together ‘birthday kits’
PUTNAM — The Putnam Rotary Club’s Interact Club had a “birthday party” of their own had fun creating Birthday Kits in remembrance of Lorna Wade.
Wade was a member of the Living Faith United Methodist Church of Putnam. She died in January 2026.
At her recent memorial service there were fliers with Wade’s idea of a Birthday Kit Ministry which allows every child to celebrate their birthday.
Putnam Rotary Club and the Interact Club members donated items to create the kits: cake mixes, cans of frosting, cans of Sprite, candles, paper plates, napkins and sprinkles.
The Interact Club assembled 30 kits and they also received $96 in donations toward the Birthday Kits.
The kits will be delivered to Daily Bread to be distributed to families in need.
Rotarian Roberta Rocchetti, Interact advisor, thanked Interact members co-president Paige Perry, and Interactors Alyssa Daniels, Calleigh Levesque and Mabel Perreault for their hard work.
The Putnam Rotary Interact Club is a Rotary-sponsored regional club for ages 12 - 18 with the focus on community service. The club meets at 6:30 p.m. at the Putnam Public Library every second and fourth Tuesday of the month from September through May.
