7. LET’S PRACTICE!

8. The Rotaract Club of XYZ is a newly-
chartered university-based club. One
day, they came to DRR Gem saying
that they want to do a project in a
poor community near their school.
But since they are new, they are
seeking her advice on how to conduct
service projects. Suggest ways on how
should DRR Gem assist the Rotaract
Club of XYZ.

9. To begin the Rotary Year, DRR Amie
wants to provide whole-day training
for club officers. 90% of these officers
have never attended a District
Training program before and their
average residency in Rotaract is 1-2
years. Help draft a training program
for DRR Amie’s District.

10. The Rotaract Club of ABC has been active in the
District. However, its club members and officers
often complain of their Rotarians and vice-
versa. On the one hand, the Rotaractors feel
that the Rotarians are trying to run the club for
them. On the other hand, the Rotarians feel
ignored because Rotaractors do things without
their knowledge. What would be your course/s
of action if you were the DRR?

11. In the areas within DRR Melody’s District,
there are lots of students and young
professionals who aren’t involved with
the Rotaract program yet but according to
the Rotaractors, they have experienced a
lot of rejections when they invite. DRR
Melody wanted to help clubs in their
District with this problem. Propose
creative methods to attract young people
to join Rotaract.

12. DRR Aaron’s District is planning
on conducting Battle of the
Bands to finance a district wide
project. Advise DRR Aaron on
what items should be on his list
to effectively oversee the
project.

13. There is a Multi-District
Information Organization in
Country X and DRR Boom’s
District is not yet part of it.
How can he convince his club
presidents to have the District
join the MDIO?

14. DRR Daniel’s District has 20
Rotaract clubs but he is very well
aware that only 50% of the Rotary
clubs sponsor Rotaract clubs. Help
DRR Daniel by helping him
develop plan/s to convince Rotary
clubs to sponsor Rotaract clubs.

15. Thank you!
