GETTING INTO BED WITH ROTARACT (Click Here)
After the success of Interact Clubs for high school-age
youth (14-18) in the early 1960’s, the Rotary International board created
Rotaract in 1968. The new organisation was designed to promote
responsible citizenship and leadership potential in clubs of young men and
women, aged 18-30. The first Rotaract Club was chartered by the
Charlotte North Rotary Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.
Rotaract clubs emphasise the importance of individual
responsibility as the basis of personal success and community involvement.
Each club sponsors an annual project to promote high ethical standards in
one’s business and professional life. Rotaract also provides
opportunities leading to greater international understanding and goodwill.
Rotaractors enjoy many social activities as well as programs to improve
their community. A Rotaract club can exist only when continuously
sponsored, guided and counselled by a Rotary club.
The programs of Rotaract are built around the motto
‘Fellowship Through Service’.
(extract from The ABC’s Of Rotary, by past president
Cliff Dochterman)
Rotaract is growing within District 1070. Our current
clubs are undertaking membership recruitment drives and a number of Rotary
Clubs are preparing for Interest Meetings to start new Rotaract Clubs this
year.
Rotary International President Wilf Wilkinson wishes the
Rotaract and Rotary Clubs of D1070 well in the strengthening of existing
clubs and the formation of new clubs for 2007/2008.
