• Janet Pomeroy is a recreation and rehabilitation center for people with disabilities

WELCOME NIGHT RECAP

Well hello everyone! And for those newcomers, welcome to the SFSU Rotaract website! I hope everyone's had a great week after our Welcome Night, and if anyone missed that meeting, do not fret! Read down below for a basic recap of what we discussed:

Who are we?

• Rotaract at SFSU is a community service organization made of individuals who want to make a difference in the San Francisco community and beyond. We were inaugurated just last year, on September 17, 2014. The international organization we’re a part of, Rotary, has a large community of adult professionals here in District 5150.

Who do we work with?

• We collaborate with different organizations here on campus, such as Campus Recreation or La Raza. We’re always looking for opportunities to work with the SF State community.
• We work with various Rotary Clubs here in District 5150, which stretches from Marin to the Peninsula, such as our sponsoring Rotary Club of SF West, and the Rotary Club of San Francisco #2, which as the second Rotary Club to be founded in the world! We also work with different non-profit organizations across San Francisco, like Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly and Janet Pomeroy, for instance.

Please note our upcoming events for October:

• October 11 (Sunday): Italian Heritage Parade

As mentioned before, our membership fee is $10 for the week of September 20th, then goes up to $15 the week of September 27th, and afterwards general membership is $20. All prices are for the whole year. With your membership you become an Official Member of Rotaract, and receive a membership card and a Rotaract pin, as well as credit for your volunteering hours. We announce a formal pinning ceremony once all membership dues are accepted.
