Rotaract Clubs are for young adults aged
18-30 to meet peers their age group and provide service to their
community. Rotaract Clubs must be sponsored by a Rotary Club. The
Rotaract Club of Richmond is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Richmond.
We currently have a strong membership of more than 25 members. The club
engages in a multitude of activities helping the Richmond community
through local community service projects or international projects that
serve to bring about awareness of global issues. Each month, the club
holds one meeting, participates in at least one community service
project and convenes for one social. Recent community service projects
the club has been involved in includes volunteering at Nibbles and
Bites, Richmond Sharing Farm, Richmond General Hospital (stringing
lights for Celebrate with Lights fundraiser), and most recently Union
Gospel Mission soup kitchen. Past international projects the club has
organized include a book drive to libraries of Trinidad and Tobago in
2003 and a fundraiser for the eradication of Polio (Poliomyelitis)
in 2004.
