<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal">Rotaract clubs are Rotary partners.

<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal">In communities worldwide, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to take action through service. </span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rotaract members decide how to organize and run their clubs, manage their own funds, and plan and carry out activities and service projects. Rotary club sponsors offer guidance and support and work with clubs as partners in service. In District 5130 our Rotaract Clubs have thier own leadership as well. This year's amazing District Rotaract Representative is Sophie Saucedo!</span></p>
