Rotaract with Bryan Bratt

Our Program on November 5th was a talk by Bryan Bratt. He is in the process of establishing a Rotaract Club in the West Metro Area.

Rotaract Clubs are generally sponsored by regular Rotary Clubs, and their membership is composed of college students and young business people, usually age 18 to 35. A Rotaract Club is a natural feeder providing members to the sponsoring Rotary Clubs. They currently are immersed in the paperwork issues associated with starting a club, and have an event planned tonight in St Louis Park.

We know about Interact, the high school Rotary groups. Rotaract was founded in Charlotte, N.C., in 1968. Their motto is “Lead – Serve – Grow.” They intend to have two meetings a month, and expect to be up and running by January. He said there are four active Rotaract Clubs in the area. Rotaract Clubs are sponsored by a Rotary Club, and the members work together, but the Rotaract Club is separately chartered and self-governing.
