ROTARACT TO THE RESCUE : Blood Donation Drives
SUBHEAD. SUBHEAD. SUBHEAD.
Rotaract District 3010 is extremely happy to welcome Rotaract Club of Sun City to our Rotaract family. Due to technical
mishaps we were unable to communicate with the club in the past. But it is a pleasure to have them as a part of our district. We
hope that they will be warmly welcomed by all the clubs as well. Please keep them in your contacts for the future.

If any other club is not in direct contact with the District do let us know at : [email protected]
The past month saw Delhi hit by the deadly disease Dengue. The disease causes a lack of
platelets in the human body and may even prove to be fatal. The city was struggling with a
shortage of blood and platelets. Rotaract clubs of District 3010 rose to the occasion by
organising Blood Donation Camps all over the city. The drives saw enthusiastic response
and our volunteers were able to successfully collect sufficiently high units of blood.

“Communication works miracles for those who work at it”
As we know, all Rotaract clubs under District 3010
must work together to make this movement a success.
This requires timely coordination amongst the clubs and
the district. Over the past few months, we have
experienced a lot of issues in communicating with the
Presidents and Secretaries of each club. To ensure
proper interaction we have decided to award points for
the same.
Point system for Communication -
POOR - Minus 200
AVERAGE - +100 Points
GOOD - +200 Points
EXCELLENT - +300 Points

Rotaract Communication Evaluation
From The DRR’s Desk Dear Friends,
Warm Rotaract Greetings!!
First of all, I would like to acknowledge all the Rotaractors who volunteered for the
Common Wealth Games. These rotaractors could have been at home and relaxed but
they choose to be the face of India and worked really hard showing true spirit of
today‟s Indian youth. Congratulations to all these Rotaractors for being such
amazing hosts.
I would like to welcome two new clubs who have joined our family – A newly
formed Rotaract Club of IMM and a newly found Rotaract Club of Sun City. I would
like to thank Rotarian Ajay Narain for taking steps to “Cleaning up Rotaract and
Interact”. He has been working closely with 100+ Rotary Clubs in reviving old
Rotaract Clubs and forming new ones. Thank you for your extraordinary support sir.
I also would like congratulate Rotaract Club of Delhi South, being a community
based club, for doubling their strength to 40 members and Rotaract Club of Dadri
city to add 10 new members to their club. Also, many congratulations to Dadri city
to have come up with a 30 page magazine of their club.Activities by clubs like Blood
donation camps , cleanliness drive, education to the underprivileged , polio
eradication this month needs special acknowledgement. We could really see the
spirit of Rotary “Service above self” from the genres of projects done this month.
Club monthly reports are the face of the clubs. As an initiative to professional
development, we this time requested all the clubs to send the monthly Club reports
in Word/PDF Document. I must appreciate all the clubs to have send such creative
reports with information on projects done , presented beautifully.Last but not the
least , Communication is one area which we all need to work on. Many clubs have
not been replying at all, to the mails/sms sent to them . Its time we should learn to
say „No‟ if we are not interested. Simply not replying dosen‟t get us as an
organization and one as an individual anywhere. From this month we have
introduced a new point system wherein each club would be marked based on their
quality of communication with their ZRR‟s, fellow clubs and district team .
Best of Luck and Keep doing this great work.
Cheers!!
Rtr.Manik Gupta, DRR 2010-11

EDITORIAL
“Whoever said happiness comes with sunshine has
never danced in the rain…”
Its been a great new month with a host of new
events and activities taking place all over the
district.
This has been a time of celebration all over
delhi and I’m proud that Rotaractors have
shown their support for Commonwealth
Games Delhi 2010. Way to go guys !!!
I’m glad to see that Rotaractors have lived up
to the motto of “Service Above Self” by
organising Blood Donation Camps all over the
city. Rotaractors truly always ready for the
rescue.
However there have been some shortcomings
that need to be worked upon. I would like to
request all club presidents to ensure that the
monthly reports must be sent as a single
doc/pdf file with images embedded within.
And do make sure the name of the file is
RC_ Clubname, for eg. RC_ASET.
Hope you keep up the good work
See you next month!!!!

From what we get we make a Living ; from what we give we make a life .
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
Membership starts with you! Invite friends, family and co-workers to become members of Rotaract
