I. WHY JOIN ROTARACT?
————————————————————
Rotaract is an international service club for individuals between the ages of 18-30. As one of Rotary International’s official youth programs, members of Rotaract clubs (known as Rotaractors), are part of the world’s largest service organization. Rotaractors perform service both locally and internationally, changing the world one person at a time!

For those of you who are still unsure about joining Cal Rotaract, here are some key points to remember as to why we’re different from every other community service club out there!

* Strong repertoire of international service!
* Rotarian support and professional development through resume building, interview practice, public speaking, event planning, and more!
* Direct participation through our committees.
* Member rewards and online service hour tracking!

II. How to Sign Up for Events/Meetings
————————————————————
At each general meeting, we hand out sign-up sheets where you can indicate your interest in events. Turn them in by the end of the meeting so we can know to email you more information.
