Wolverhampton Rotaract on the way back.

By Richard Green

Our 100th potential Rotoractor!

In a joint venture involving 4 of the 5 Wolverhampton Rotary Clubs, we spent 3 days at the Wolverhampton and Walsall campus’ of the university, talking to new and returning students about our plans to re-start the Wolverhampton Rotaract club.

This is Rotary International’s great club for 18 – 30 year old men and women. There are 190,000 Rotaractors in over 7000 clubs worldwide, giving the opportunity for young people to enjoy fun and fellowship, and getting involved in Rotary service projects at the same time.

The results during freshers week look encouraging. Nearly 200 students expressed some interest and the next step will be to arrange an interest meeting to see if we can carry the initiative forward.

It follows the highly successful launch of a Rotaract club at Keele university last year and we were encouraged by the fact that some of the students we spoke to had already been Interactors at their secondary schools both in the UK and abroad.
