Helping the community is a big part of the Rotaract club and we
undertake various events throughout the year, in particular the
"Read to Ray" rota. Ray is a blind man that members of the club
visit each Tuesday to read newspaper articles to. At each club night
a rota is passed around by the community officer and members of the
club are encouraged to sign up.
Community can cover a whole range of activities and of course what
we do each year is dependant on what we are asked to do and what the
need is, whether it is organising a street collection, helping the
aged or painting a school fence.
A recent event that we took part in was helping Southend Rotaract
club renovate the garden at an old peoples home.
