Rotaract District 5050President Desmond Devnich of the Chilliwack Fraser Rotaract Club is an engaging speaker in the Upper Fraser Valley. I urge you to participate in one of the next up coming Rotary meetings that he will be taking part in. For further information, please see Desmond’s contact information on the Rotaract5050 site under Clubs | Chilliwack.
Well, as my summer months come to an end it’s time to ramp up the Rotaract year with new ideas, engaging speakers, service projects and fabulous fellowship!
Are you a Rotaractor here in District 5050 or abroad? Have you reached out to a local Rotary club, Rotarians or anyone in General to let them know about what Rotaract is or what we do? I challenge you to engage these groups and inform them of the exciting things that you and your club are doing this coming year.
Did you know that as a Rotaractor you are more than welcome to visit any Rotary club at any time? I’ll post some of my Rotary visit experiences here in following updates. Other clubs are fun to visit for a number of reasons; you get to know other Rotarians from the area who don’t make it out to the larger functions, you get to see what other clubs do to keep their meeting fresh and fun, and you get to inform everyone about us as a group. It’s all too easy. And you ususally get a meal out of it (which you will likely have to pay for, but whatever, it’s a meal out).
If you would like to attend a meeting anywhere but are a bit reserved to go it alone, just let me know. I’ll join you or rally a group of us together to make an evening out of it.
Fun, yes?
Have a great New Genereations month, I look forward to seeing everyone out and about!
As we are well aware, Rotaract and Rotary offers some pretty spectacular opportunities to travel from international conventions to immunization trips to work and fellowship exchanges. This adventure is another one for the books.

The Global Rotary Peace Forum is making three stops for the 2012-2013 Rotaract year and stop number two is in Honolulu, HI, USA. Per the Peace Forum website, the conference hopes to:
It would be a great time, and it’s over a weekend therefore more reasonable for a quick getaway. In the Fraser Valley we are favourably situated for a short flight over. If you are interested in making the journey please contact your club president! For further information please check their website.
