ALL IN MEETING March 17, 2016 Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

What is Rotaract? Young adults between While Rotary clubs serve as sponsors, Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their club and what projects and activities to carry out. What is St. Louis Rotaract? St. Louis Rotaract started as a city-wide club for all interested students. Thanks to Dr. Howard’s involvement and the strong interest of SLU Master’s in Public Health Students in recent years, the club is in the final stages of becoming an official SLU organization. Students and Professionals not affiliate with SLU will continue to be able to join and participate. Becoming an official group will allow the club access to SLU resources and marketing opportunities on campus (using campus space, advertising through official SLU channels, and significant recruiting opportunities) Club 11 is the sponsoring Rotary Club for the St. Louis Rotaract Club. However, they are financially independent and have full directional control of the club.
