Rotaract Communication Evaluation
“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

“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 Rtr.Jyoti Bhatt District Editor 2010-11
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 Comic Corner
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!!!!

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
