Rotaract District 3010 completed six months of this Rotaract year. Its was a
time to celebrate our achievements and review our future plans for the
upcoming months.

 District conference is a perfect opportunity not only to meet fellow
rotaractors from all over the district once again and share your visions , but
also enhance your bonding of friendship with each other. The event is
believed to have an indispensible share on the Rotaract calendar, as it is truly
an embodiment of reflection. It is about reflecting upon the changes that have
been instilled until now during the tenure of the current DRR. It marks an
opportunity to ponder over the developments which were planned at the
installation of the DRR.
"REFLECTIONS" ,the Mid-year District Conference 2010-11 was held on

Narayan, Director of „New Generation‟ Organisation addressed a plethora of
issues faced by the rotaractors within the clubs and welcomed their
suggestions with open hearts.

Rtn.Tejinder Singh from the Rotary Blood Bank also presented a short
movie on Thalassemia awareness.

The occasion was not only constrained to discussions. There was a cultural
extravaganza as well, where the rotaractors from Rotaract clubs of ASET,
Biijwasan and IILM, Noida gave splendid performances. Later, they were
lauded for their spirits to pluck up the courage to perform. After this, a JAM
session made the event even more lively, where all the people swayed to the
music, as one big family.

The highlights of the event were:

         Presentation of the work done in district in past 6 months by

          and plans for the future were illustrated.

dreadful disease.

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

Rotarians and non-Rotarians can donate online. Clubs and districts can contribute cash and District Designated Fund (DDF) allocations to the fund. The 9.0-magnitude quake, Japan's largest in history, and the tsunami that followed it caused widespread devastation, paralyzing much of the northern coast. More than 10,000 people have been killed, and thousands are missing. Millions have been left without clean water or power, and at least 550,000 people have been forced from their homes. A series of explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, 140 miles northeast of Tokyo, damaged reactors and forced the evacuation of tens of thousands. The Japanese government is working to contain the situation. Damage from the earthquake and tsunami is estimated at US$170 billion. RI President-nominee Sakuji Tanaka, of the Rotary Club of Yashio, Saitama, was in Lisbon, Portugal, on Rotary business during the disasters. He was able to reach his wife, Kyoko, on the phone to confirm her safety. People carry their furniture from their ruined home 15 March in "She said it was the most horrifying experience she'd ever had," says Tanaka. Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, four days after "The northern region of Japan is still in chaos. We are unsure when this chaos will end or when things will get better. However, I am most thankful to an earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan's northeast coast know that Rotarians around the world care for us." towns. AP Photo/Kyodo News Japanese RI directors Masaomi Kondo and Masahiro Kuroda, as well as staff at Rotary International's Japan office, are confirmed to be safe. Rotary clubs and districts worldwide are mobilizing efforts to bring urgently needed aid to victims. "I've received many messages from Rotarians all over the world," says Noriko Futagami, the Public Image Resource Group coordinator for Zone 2. "I also have reports that Rotary clubs have begun to start planning projects for immediate help. Unfortunately, there are many Rotarians and families who haven't been able to be contacted. Rotarians in Japan worry for their safety." To donate log on to : https://riweb.rotaryintl.org/donor_xml/ContributionMenu.asp
