Rotaract Elections‏

Hello Rotaractors!

Preparations are underway for a new Rotaract year beginning July 1st.

This is a perfect opportunity for new members to take on a leadership role with the club, or for former members to rededicate themselves to Rotaract by renewing their membership!

As many of you know, our incoming Club President has already been determined (Gabrielle Boulet was named our President-elect at this time last year).

However, there are still executive positions to be filled:

Secretary – responsible for taking meeting minutes, tracking attendance, checking the mailbox, club correspondence, etc.

Treasurer – responsible for ongoing tracking of the club’s general finances & coordinating with the Duck Race coordinator for any lottery issues.

President-Elect – responsible for chairing meetings when the President is unable, and assisting the President throughout the year in preparation to take over the Presidency on July 1, 2009.

We will be reviewing the details of these positions, and the election process at the next GENERAL club meeting, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2008.

Nominations will be accepted at the meeting: Tuesday, March 25th

Election of the club’s Executive will be made at the meeting: Tuesday, April 8th.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or email.

Michelle Dupont
President – GP Rotaract Club

Box of Culture Pictures

At the meeting on October 23rd the club took time to open the Box of Culture. The pictures are just making it up now.

The Box of Culture is an international project of the FUTA Rotarct Club in Rotary District 9130, Nigeria. They packed a box full of Rotaract info, pictures and cultural products from their home and sent it to our club.


The box was actually a small parcel, but we were in for a surprise when we saw how much was squeezed in there!


President Michelle did the honours opening the package...


.. and right away was intrigued with what was inside.


We were excited to see everything from Rotaract bumper stickers....


.... to certificates....


... to district newspapers!


All in all that little package had a lot of culture stuffed in there! It was impressive to see how organized Rotaract is in District 9130. Considering that we only have 4 clubs in our district it was eye opening to see so many events and materials produced by Rotaractors.

Also in the parcel were CDs with pictures of events from the FUTA club - which we posted to our Grande Prairie Rotaract group on Facebook.

Next up is our return package for FUTA! Don't forget next meeting is the last opportunity to contribute something.

Visit with DG Dave Taylor

On Sept. 28, 2007 several club members had a special Rotaract lunch with District Governor David Taylor and his spouse Elaine who were in Grande Prairie for Fall Assembly. DG Dave was very interested in hearing what could be done at the district level to help Rotaract clubs. He also mentioned that there will be two new Rotaract clubs chartering in the next couple of weeks - one in Lloydminster and the other in Edmonton.


Club members chat with Dave, Elaine and Assistant DG Allan.



After the meeting everyone posed for a quick group shot. Thanks again to Darrell for remembering to bring the camera!

A few club members attended training sessions Friday evening and Saturday morning. Word is all the sessions were very informative and provided many good strategies for member recruitment & retention among other things. President Michelle passed on a "Thank You Rotary!" for hosting these sessions here in Grande Prairie.
