On Tuesday, January 3, students from the Hamilton High School Interact Club will visit the Sun Lakes Rotary Club to share what they are doing in their high school environment – where they are dedicated to public service. In the news, we hear about “bad” kids all the time. Come to Rotary on January 3 and hear about some “great” kids; what they are doing and why they are great. They are from the Sun Lakes Rotary Club’s Interact Club at Hamilton High School. Interact is the high school equivalent of Rotary and these kids who are volunteers are making a very positive difference in our community. Be encouraged. Come hear their stories.
On Tuesday, January 10, Liz McNabb from Select Physical Therapy will talk about the importance of Physical Therapy as it relates to seniors.

Select Physical Therapy offers physical therapy, hand therapy, sports medicine and more. You don’t have to be injured just to benefit from therapy.
