Why Rotaract?

All of us as members of the club have our own reasons for participating in Rotaract. Some members are former Interactors, some were roped in to provide rides, and I was lucky enough to be recruited by Jerika.

One of the best things about Rotaract right now is the incredibly high energy level we have. It's amazing that since Jan 5th we have held an opening social, sorted clothing for refugees, supported the Sugarhouse Rotary Chili Open, and planned tons of future events and projects.

This level of passion is hard to find. 

Along those lines, here is a summary of our upcoming activities.

• Feb 7^th is the deadline to turn in an application for our summer service trip to Mexico. 

• Feb 9th at 7:30 pm is our next Rotaract meeting. Come and join us at Walker 1 on the Westminster College campus.

• Career speed-dating with Rotarians is being planned for Friday, February 24^th at 6:00 pm. This event will likely take place on the Westminster College campus, and will provide opportunities to get to know successful individuals in the community. (And have loads of fun.)

• On March 23^rd (possibly the 24^th) we will be holding a dinner fundraiser and auction to help pay for our Mexico service trip. The dinner will feature Peruvian food and auctions of services and donated items. (Please keep your eyes open for a good location for this event. We are planning on between 100 and 200 attendees, and need a venue that doesn't require us to use their caterer.)

We are also planning several service projects, including a dog-walk 5k to support the Adopt Me Society in April, a large service project with the Interactors in May, and a project to benefit kids at Primary Children’s.

If you have any input on these activities feel free to comment on this post or bring your ideas to our next planning meeting.

The next few months are full of excitement! Anyone interested in participating in any of the events can email the Westminster Rotaract club at slrotaract (at) gmail (dot) com, or visit our Facebook page.
