| Rotaract & Rotary Trivia How are new Rotaract clubs started? Contact your local Rotary club and discuss your ideas with the club president or club community service or youth committees. Because Rotaract clubs rely on the continued sponsorship and support of Rotary clubs, it is important for everyone to have a firm understanding of the commitment involved. Review the RI Rotaract publications with the sponsoring Rotary club. You also may consider contacting other Rotaract clubs and their sponsoring Rotary clubs to learn what makes them successful. Rotarians also should invite Rotaractors to attend a Rotary club meeting and/or have them make a presentation during a weekly meeting. Once the Rotary club's board has agreed to sponsor a Rotaract club, you can forge ahead with membership recruitment, meetings, and projects. Remember, the structure of a Rotaract club mirrors that of a Rotary club, so use your sponsoring Rotary club as a resource for answering your "how do we do this?" questions. They have expertise to share. When your Rotaract club is ready, complete the Rotaract Club Organization List form so Rotary International can officially charter your club. |
