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).
