This document summarizes the activities of a charity Rotaract club. The club is committed to making positive change in their community through building relationships and conducting various fundraising and volunteer projects. Some of their projects include renovating homes, assisting at medical camps, and supporting organizations like animal shelters. Their largest annual fundraiser is a Christmas party called "Uncle Jumbos." The club faces challenges with membership numbers, diversity of impact, and succession planning, but members are motivated to give back to those less fortunate and make a positive difference through Rotaract.

District conference rotaract presentation
It’s who we are... We are a charity group that is committed to making a change in our community whilst still having fun and building life long friendships. For us, it’s all about building relationships – with our community, our members, our Interactors, our fellow Rotaract clubs, our parent club Rotary, our sponsors and most importantly, the people we help with our charity projects.
It’s what we do... By broadening our horizons, and expanding our portfolio, we are not only able to reach more people in the communities we serve, but we can create awareness and spend our time dedicating ourselves to making the world a better place.
Meeting our Board... Mispah – Co-president Madeleine – Co-president Caitlin – Vice President Helen - Treasurer Tate - Projects Barry - Membership Lauren - Secretary
Our Projects... We try to keep our options open with projects and also keep a broad spectrum. From renovating houses, assisting at medical camps, helping baby centres, old age homes and animal shelters, we are willing to do it all! We offer assistance through financial donations, volunteer work, collection drives, fundraiser and offering professional advise through our various fields of expertise.
CANSA House... The Cancer Association of South Africa has an Interim Home in Glendinningvale in Port Elizabeth where patients from out of town stay while they receive cancer treatment. This was our Main Project for the 2011 – 2012 calendar Year. Before and After:
Other Projects...

Problems we face... • Membership numbers – where our Club was and where it is now • Preaching to the masses – growth amongst friends • Diversifying your impact - greater interest • Meetings – making it fun! • Consistency and Continuity – a good succession plan for the future • Facebook and the Internet – How Social Media and technology have changed everything for us!
Why we do it... “To join a well-recognised organisation in order to be able to give back to those less fortunate, and to meet new people with the same goals.” - Madeleine “To use Rotaract as a platform to make a difference in the community and to get involved with as many projects as possible!” - Mispah “ To give back to the community, especially to people who are less fortunate but still deserving. To feel that good things can still happen and that we can make a difference.” - Caitlin “To serve those less fortunate than myself, to broaden my mind to the needs of the world.” - Helen “To do some good where I can.” - Lauren “To be the difference I want to see” - Tate “To give back to the community and leave my footprint on the world.” - Barry
Uncle Jumbos! Our Biggest Fundraiser and the thing we are best known for in PE is our annual Christmas Party!
