The Rotaract Club of Saint Lucia --Fellowship Through Service

Rotaract clubs are community based 'service' clubs for young men and women ages 18 to 30, sponsored by the local Rotary clubs. The club seeks to develop professional and leadership skills within the youth and also to practice and promote ethical standards. This effort starts at the community level but knows no limits in its outreach. Rotaract is also an international network of over 7,300 clubs spanning more than 150 countries and geographical areas.

With that said -- World Rotaract week is here. It is a week set aside to honour the chartering of the first Rotaract club. The first Rotaract club was chartered on the 13th March 42 years ago in 1968. This year, the week spans from the 7th to the 13th of March. It is a time for Rotaractors worldwide to celebrate its success and let the community know of the work Rotaract has done.

The week of activities included Radio interviews on 105.3 Hot FM and Blazing 99.3 FM, the distribution of Flyers at schools and local businesses, all leading up to the main event, our community service project, to be held tomorrow the 13 of March. The Regional Rotaract clubs have all sent contributions to help with the Hurricane Tomas Relief effort. Everything from goods in barrels to monetary assistance has been sent and on March 13th we will be distributing these items to the Bexon area.

Are you a young professional who wants to make your community a better place? Would you welcome the chance to expand your circle of friends at home and around the world? Are you looking for ways to build or hone your leadership skills and explore career opportunities? Are you looking for a great time and experience while doing all of the above? THEN ROTARACT IS FOR YOU! Come join us on Thursdays at the Central Library at 6:30pm
