Rotaract History Worldwide 40 years

Dear Rotaractors, fellow members of the Family of Rotary,

Rotaract will soon be 40 years young and so there is 40 years of
Rotaract history out in the world, some of it written down, some of it
in the minds of Rotaractors and past Rotaractors waiting to be shared
with others.

Could you write a history of your Rotaract Club or Rotaract District?
If not, do you know another Rotarator or past Rotaractor who could do
this?

Which are the oldest Rotaract Clubs? When was your club chartered?

The Rotary Global History Fellowship already has some 3,000 pages of
Rotary History and now wishes to include the History of each Rotaract
Club and District. Some project! The RGHF project started only a few
years ago with the aim of recording the history of the first 50 Rotary
Clubs. Have a look at the site to see what has already been started on
Rotary.
http://www.rotaryhistoryfellowship.org/index.htm

The Rotaract page is
at: http://www.rotaryfirst100.org/library/organizations/rotoract.htm

but lots more Rotaract History is needed to make the site as good for
Rotaract as it already is for Rotary

Rotaractors can also join the RGHF at:
http://www.rotaryfirst100.org/index.htm

Please share this request for Rotaract History with your felow members,
clubs in your district, and other Rotaractors and past Rotaractors you
know.

I look forward to hearing from you.
With kind regards,
Yours in Rotary and Rotaract Service
Tim
