WALLOWA COUNTY — Libby Fisher and Lauren McBurney have been elected presidents of their respective Rotary-sponsored Interact Clubs for the 2022-23 school year, according to a press release.

Fisher, who will be a senior in the fall, was vice president of the Wallowa High School Interact Club this year and assumed leadership last fall when the president stepped down.

McBurney, who will be a freshman in the fall, is vice president at Joseph Charter School.

Other incoming officers at Wallowa include Emma Durning as vice president and secretary, and Kellan Knifong and Cecilia April as co-treasurers.

Incoming officers at JCS are Camdyn Weer as vice president, Mary Hellinger as secretary and Livia DeMelo as treasurer.

Interact Clubs are high school service clubs sponsored by local Rotary Clubs. Both clubs collaborated this year in a service project trip to Baja California, where they assisted with health checks of local students, brought groceries to a rural village, toured an ill-equipped medical clinic and learned about the ecosystem of Mexico’s biggest coral reef.
