Come out to our Family Night to join a family within our Fellowship Program.
Families are a great way to meet people who share your same passion for service and bond through friendly competitions. Tournaments in the past have included basketball, volleyball, and even LAN. By joining a family, you will have the opportunity to meet fellow members at a closer, more intimate level.
The six families are: The Axels, the Freds, the Gustaves, the Hirams, the Pauls, and the Silvesters. During Family Night, you will get the chance to meet all of the family heads and decide which family is right for you!
Returning members will have the chance to rejoin the same family, or choose a new family. The Family program is a strong component of Cal Rotaract’s experience, and participation is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. We hope to see you all there!

WHAT IS ROTARACT?
—————————————-
Sponsored by international service organization Rotary International, Rotaract is a service club for young men and women ages 18-30.
Modeled after similar goals and standards to those of Rotary, Rotaract brings together college students and young business professionals for the purpose of humanitarian service, networking, building goodwill and promoting peace around the world. As one of the fastest-growing Rotary programs, Rotaract on the international scale includes more than 8,000 Rotaract clubs in some 155 countries.
Each individual Rotaract club is sponsored by a local Rotary club, and is generally either university- or community-based. Each chapter has its own unique personality, sometimes with special emphases and focuses dependent upon the array of members and their particular interests. Like Rotary, Rotaract clubs meet on a regular basis, and are nonpolitical, nonreligious and open to anyone interested.
Rotaractors address many of global and local issues pertinent to today’s society, developing projects that promote service, build friendship and provide a forum for cultural exchange.
