The Interact Clubs of Belle Vernon Area (BVA) and Frazier were hosted by the Belle Vernon Area Rotary Club for its annual banquet, held at the Cedarbrook Clubhouse Grill on March 27.

The two Interact Clubs honor an individual from each school district and community each year with a community award. This year’s Community Award recipient for Frazier was Melissa Stairs, who was in attendance and thanked the club for the honor.

The BVA club recognized its Community Award honoree, Liz Wilson, who was unable to attend and will receive her award at a later date.

Students from both clubs led the evening’s program, sharing updates on the many service projects they completed throughout the year. Their presentations reflected a strong commitment to community involvement and volunteerism.

The event also acknowledged the adults who support the clubs’ efforts. BVA sponsors Amy Mendicino and Amber Null, Frazier sponsor Joe Scalise, and Interact Liaison Chris Giannamore were thanked for their guidance and dedication.

BVA High School Principal Zachary Just and Assistant Principal Justin Ward were also in attendance, showing their support for the students’ accomplishments.

The Belle Vernon Area Rotary Club serves the communities of the Belle Vernon Area and Frazier School Districts and meets at 6:30 p.m. every Thursday at the Cedarbrook Clubhouse Grill in Rostraver Township.
