History
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.
