Project/Attendance Matrix Update 3/4/10

Each "1" denotes a project (for example, 111 = 3 projects)Each "X" denotes an attendance at a meeting (for example: XX = 2 meetings)Example: 1XX11XXX = 3 projects, 5 meetingYou need 5 projects by the end of the year and attendance at atleast 60% of our meetings. Right now the minimum you should have is 5 Xs (62%) out of a total number of 8 meetings (we have had more than 8 but cancelled one Interact and at several meetings the bell rang before everyone could signin so we combined the signin with another meeting's sign in). If you have lower than 60%, start attending more meetings and your percent will go up. We are also considering "make-up" meetings so if you want to be safe or makeup a meeting, alert for announcements. Remember, if you have less than 60%, that number will go up as you attend more meetings.We will be announcing more projects opprotunities soon.Let us know if something is incorrect.We're more than 1/2 way through the school year and you deserve to know where you stand in Interact. Check your up to date project AND attendance here. If you have any questions or think the project or attendance may be wrong for you for a date, please let us know by clicking the contact us link to the left OR text messaging us at 224-225-9545.To be an Interact member (recieve an honors cord for graduation after two years of membership, attend the Interact breakfast, and use Interact on college apps) you must have 5 projects completed and have had attended a minimum of 60% of our meetings. If you don't have enough projects, we'll have another project push these next two quarters to allow everyone to have the opprotunity for getting all there projects. If you don't have enough attendance, we're toying with the idea of having one or two "idea" meetings on another day of the week where members can submit their ideas for Interact in the future - not a done deal yet though.JeremyAdamowiczXXXXXXXXAndreaAdams1XXXX11KateArendsXXXXXEvanBaczekXXXXXXXKeelyBanach1XXX1XHayleyBarronXXXX1Elizabeth Berton1XXXXXX1XXKevin BlumeXXXXXX1XXDanyelBoliauxXXXXXChrissyBonoXXXXXXKatieBotwin1X1XXXXX1XMeganBoydXXXXX1XAinsleyBoyleXXXXXX1XXJanelleBrewer1XXXXXXXSarahBrojXXXXDanielleBurgessXXXXX1LisaCallahan1XX1XXXX1AbbyCarpenter1XXXXX1XMeganCasadyXXKaylaCluff1X1XXXX111XXTaniaConradXXXLindsayCooley1XX1XLindsayCoppX1XX11XXMichael CoppXXXStevenCoppXXXXCharleyDeverXXXXTaylorDeverXXXXChristinaDionesotes1X1XXXXJohnDruryXFloraDuffXX1XXStephanie EickelbergXXXVickieEickelbergXXXXKaitlynElfering1XXXXXKristenElferingXXXX11XXSamanthaEsserX1XXXMeganEwanXXXXXXXKathleenFlood1XXXMirandaFloresXXXXXX1XXAudrey Forier1XXXXX1SaraFraterrigoX1XXXXX111XXLaurenGageX1XXXX111XXMaddieGelinasXXXXXXHannahGilliamXXXXXXXLaurenGornik1XXXXX11XSavannahHaegerXXXX1XXEllenHairXX1XXX11XAmie Hansen1XX1XXXX1XXMichelleHartmannXXXXXX11XXMichael HembdXXXXXX1XXDanielleHofmannX1XXX1XXMorganHollenbeck1XX1XXXX11XXTomHornacekXXXX1XCassieHoughton1XXXXXAnastasia Iakiviak1XXXXXX11XXMiaIliopoulos1X1XXXEmilyJehl1XXXX1X1XMitchellJohnsonXXXX111XXJillianJones1XXXXXX1XXCarissaJurczyk1X11XXMiyaKakuda1X1XXXX1XXAlysa Kane XXXXX11XXTracyKapraun1X1XXXXX1XDanielleKarp1X1XXXXXXXKatelynKearney1X1XXX111XCourtneyKehrmannXXXTaraKennedyX1XXXXRachelKlugX1XX11XXAya KobeissiXXXX1XJaimeKoehlerX1XXX111XXAnishaKothariXXX1X1XDanaLehmannXX1X1XX1XRichardMagoncia1X1XXXXCaitMcAndrewXXXXXXKierstenMcAndrewXXXXXX11XXAinsleyMcNerney1XXXX11EmilyMelavic1X1XXX1XXDavidMesserschmidtX1XXXXXXKristina Michalak1XXXX1ZacMilbournXXX11XXSamanthaMilbournX1XXXX11XXAlexMilnerXXXXKristin MorrillXXXX1XXBrieMulligan1X1X1XXXX111XXOliviaMurrayXXXMolly MurrinX1XXX11XXPatrickNietoXXXXX1XXJennaOrabuttXXXXX11XXDorisOrtenberg1XXX11XXLindeParcelsX1XXX11XXNeemaPatelXXXSarahPaulXShruti PawarX1XXAnnaPereiraXXXXBiancaPinettiXXXXLukePopeXXXXXX1XXAlexPreuss1XXXXX1XSamPreuss1XXXXX1XVinithraRajagopalanXXXXX1XXBryorRenzXXXXXXBrynnSchaalXXX1XXElizabethSchleich1XXXX1XBrookeSillXXXClareSimms1XXX1XXBryanSirtXXXXXX1XXKeemiaSoheil1XXXXXSarahStaunerX1XXXXX111XXKatieSteinbergXX1XX11XXBiancaStoddenXXXXXX1XDanielle Tassi X1XXXRyanTeelXXXXXXXXJessicaVanderpoel1XXXXXJessieWatkinsXXXXXXXKatieWilliams1XX1XXX11XXKellyWilson1XXXX1StaceyWiltonXXXXXStephanieWondersXXXXX11XChrisXuXXXXXAllysaYiXXXXSiaZavakosXXX111XXSophieZhaoXXX1XXAllisonZurawskiXX1XProjects so farCar WashHC DecoratingHaunted HouseEmmaus HousesCharity Bash Lunch SignupsCharity Bash Badminton WorkCharity Bash Badminton BakingParadise ParkIf you think something is incorrect:Text our Interact # (224)-225-9545OREmail: click the "Contact Us" link on the leftPage 5Interact MembersInteract Sponsor ChildIn 2010, Interact sponsored 12 children to go to school in Nicaragua.Badminton TournamentOver 300 LZHS students played in the 2nd Annual Charity Badminton Tournament (part of Charity Bash, a week of school wide fundraising efforts that raised over $44,000 this year).
