Special Guests

The Salt Lake Rotary Club came to visit us to get ideas for a Rotaract Club. They are hoping to restart up the community club. If anyone is not a university student but would like to be in Rotaract, then the community club is the place for you! The hope is that next year we will have both the Westminster based club (which welcomes students from any university), and the Community based club (which also welcomes students from any university as well as those who are not university students).

Next Meeting!

Hello my fellow amazing Rotaractors,

It is time to have another meeting :]

The meeting is April 5 at 7:00 PM. (A little earlier than usual since we have a lot of planning to do). There will be a meeting either before or after that main meeting for the people going to Mexico so that we can plan our side service project there. (those going to Mexico should let me know what would work better for their schedules) :]

The agenda is as follows:

Announcements (various things that are going on people's lives, service projects, elections, etc.)

• Special guests time
  
• Dog Walk (Dayna)
• Taco Party/Auction (Details and Dates)
• Next year
• Projects
• Events
• Nepal??? :D

In preparation for this meeting, be thinking about what WE as a club want to focus on and promote next year, and what should OUR goal be?

The meeting will be held in Walker 1 on Westminster's campus. (http://www.westminstercollege.edu/campus_map/. It's #30 on the map.)

Also, to get you thinking and interested in our potential international service project for next year, I have provided the following videos which talk about human trafficking in Nepal.
