| New Opportunity in Unchartered Territory! Our club needs your help to pioneer efforts in creating a Rotaract Fundraising Archive! This archive will provide support to future club leadership by making processes more turn key, allowing for time to make our future events that much more of a success. The club needs a volunteer to gather all materials related to the upcoming Ace of Hearts event from each committee head to create a master event reference file. You won't be alone! With the help of our website team, all materials will be transferred and stored on our website for member only access. Please contact Jomi ASAP for further information. |

| New Web Page Keeps Track of Former SD Rotaract
Members We will be creating a new section on the web site that displays a virtual "where are they now" to any San Diego Rotaract members who no longer live in San Diego. We'll mark US and World maps with symbols in the cities where members are currently living and an email address for anyone who wants to participate. Our goal is to show that not only does Rotaract span the globe, so does the San Diego Rotaract! And we hope that this will help our "expat" members stay connected to us as well as let us know where we can find friends when we travel. If you have been a Downtown Rotaract member in the past and you are living in another city, please email Dave and ask him to place your city and email address on the map. And if you happen to know someone who we might be missing, please pass this idea along to them and ask them to reconnect with the club. |
