Rotaract Week

As a part of the Rotaract Week requirements, Maya Fridman presented to the Rotary Club of Philadelphia, our sponsoring club, on March 12th.

Planning developments on our Cherry Blossom Gala were discussed and Rotarians were eager to see the details of this event. All information is stored on our website under "Cherry Blossom Gala" on the left-side navigation bar. URL: www.rotaractphilly.org.

In addition, Sandra Goldberg was revealed as the professional development speaker for March 23rd. Sandra will present on her Physical Therapy business and other information on running her own company.

Lastly, Rotaract has another opportunity to participate in a grand international project with the Mianyang Normal University. Thomas Dixon, heading up this effort, is in the process of writing on invitation letter to the University's Dean to invite him and several of his students to Philadelphia to talk about their hardship after experiencing the 2008 earthquake that killed 20,000 people in the province. Rotaract will partner with the Mianyang Normal University to raise awareness on this natural disaster and provide reference books to their school's library.
