ABOUT ME: Hey everyone! My name is Brian and I’ll be one of your Co-Presidents, (along with Kyle Wang) for 2011. I’m really excited to be a part of this awesome board and hope to introduce some memorable, fun, and beneficial community projects. Interact was a large part of my high school life and so I am happy to be back under the Rotary banner. This is a great club for everyone to meet new people, make new friends, and most importantly, give back to ones community. Besides Rotaract, I really enjoy exploring new food destinations. I’m a real Foodie and I love the details in life. My friends know me as the guy with the headphones because I always have them on during our General Meetings. If you see a short Asian with white headphones, don’t be shy and say hi! Also, feel free to add me on Facebook if you want.

ABOUT ME: I have been in the Rotary International family for a long time now. Ever since being part of Interact in high school, becoming President, and then onward to District Council in District 5170, it was a natural decision for me to join Rotaract. I’m originally born in New York (the Big Apple!), then lived in Taiwan between ages 2 – 12, then to my current home in the Bay Area – Fremont, CA. I love meeting new people, and learning new things! So please do not hesitate to come talk to me, because I would probably come meet you anyways! I look forward to another amazing semester with Rotaract, and hope that I can do well serving you all again as Co-President in 2011.

ABOUT ME: Hey! Iām Stephen Fong and Iām Cal Rotaractās treasurer! I would describe myself as fun-loving, since Iām always interested in meeting new people and exploring unknown places, but also very dedicated to the work I have at hand. Since high school, I have devoted many hundreds of hours to serving the community through organizations such as Interact and National Honor Society. So, it was only natural for me to join Rotaract here at Berkeley. Thus far, Iāve deeply enjoyed my time in Rotaract working on Polio Plus as well as having tons of fun at our Rotaract family escapades to the theaters and Yogurtland. This year, I will strive to provide our club with plenty of funding and also lead campus wide fundraisers for causes important to our club and Rotary International. I look forward to accomplishing great things with the awesome people in this club and, I assure you, weāll have lots of fun while weāre at it!

I love volunteering with Cal Rotaract because everyone is so friendly and helpful, and whether we’re saving the world, or just tabling on campus, we always find things to laugh and joke about! I’m really looking forward to meeting and being inspired by new people this semester!

ABOUT ME: Hello! This is both my third year at Cal and my third year in Rotaract/Interact. Before this, I was in a variety of community service groups at my high school, but none of them were nearly as organized. In general, I just like to make things, whether they’re meaningful or not. They just have to be meaningful tasks. Hopefully, during my time here, I can help make Rotaract even better than it already is.

CONTACT: [email protected]
ABOUT ME: Hey Rotaractors, my name is Spencer and I’m excited to continue serving as your Fellowship Co-Director for the fall semester. We had a lot of fun with projects and events last semester, and I’m sure we’ll have even more fun and an even bigger impact this semester! Just a little about me: I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and studied in San Francisco before coming to Cal as a junior transfer. My experience with Rotary Club was minimal before I discovered Cal Rotaract, but I really liked how its members were so engaged in community service projects to help those at the local, national, and international level; and that’s why I joined! Although I think one of the basic requirements of being a fellowship director is to be outgoing and inviting to everyone, I admit I do have my shy times so please do not hesitate to approach me! I listen to a broad range of music but I do keep up with the Asian genre (mostly K-pop), so I am always open to a discussion of upcoming songs or your favorite group. If you have any questions about the Fellowship pillar or just want to chat, you can find me on Facebook or email me (it helps to ease the boredom of studying :D)
Angelica Teng, Co-Fellowship Director

MAJOR: MCB Immunology
SERVICE PASSIONS: Women’s Health and Education interventions
HOBBIES: Coffee-shop hopping. I’m always on the lookout for a good book and a good peppermint latte.
CONTACT: [email protected]
ABOUT ME: I had been involved in with Interact since high school and volunteered more on a local and national level through the club through can/book drives, blood drives, and volunteering hours at the local food pantry. I then found my passion in fighting for women’s health and education initiatives through a peer-founded non-profit Girls Helping Girls. Naturally, the first year I joined Rotaract I also signed up for the International Committee so I could continue that involvement. I loved how easy it was to get involved on campus and how enthusiastic other fellow Rotaractors were about both service and fellowship!

I am always down to go on an impromptu shopping spree or explain the amazingness that is SeaWorld. So, as youāve probably guessed ā Iām a complete dork, but DO come talk to me! All these exclamation points cannot properly convey how excited I will be to meet you!
Stephanie Chan, Co-Service Director
YEAR: 2nd, Undergraduate
MAJOR: Integrative Biology/Pre-Med
SERVICE PASSIONS: I love working around the local community, especially when it comes down to rebuilding projects and working with children.
