| Meeting Time on November 02 Changed for Presidential
Election!! November 02 7:00 pm The meeting on November 2 will begin at 7:00 pm instead of 6:30 pm. This time change is being made in an effort to allow members more time to vote if they are unable to do so before work or during the day. We will do our best to make this an abbreviated meeting and will then turn on the election coverage on the big screen TV. If you’ve already voted and you can stick around, please join us for this historic event. |

| Rotaract
& Rotary Trivia Rotaract History - Part 1 Rotaract, Rotary International's service club program for young adults ages 18-30, was officially inaugurated during January 1968 under RI President Luther Hodges. On March 13, 1968, the Rotaract Club of the University of North Carolina, sponsored by the Rotary Club of North Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, was the first Rotaract club to receive its official charter. Although this club is recognized as the first Rotaract club, Rotarians have been sponsoring similar organizations for young adults since the early 1920s. The earliest known predecessors to Rotaract, Twenty-Thirty clubs, were first sponsored by the Rotary Club of Sacramento, California, USA. The clubs were based on the principles and goals of their sponsoring Rotary clubs, and membership was open to young professionals and university students. The first meeting of a Twenty-Thirty club was held on December 19, 1922. At one point, the movement claimed as many as 125 clubs under the sponsorship of California Rotary clubs, and published a monthly magazine. |
