It is when you stop the story and the dawn of something new. Rotaract is something that you can never find your way out of once you step into it. Thus | stumbled upon it back in 2020 by going to RCL as a commoner. Since that day | wanted to join Rotaract and luckily our institute was chartering one. Being a girl with extremely overprotective parents, my intention behind joining Rotaract was very innocent. The infinite gateway to attend many events and spend quality times with my friends was my initial interest. But after exploring Rotaract and the endless opportunities it provides to make a difference in people’. And here | am one year later standing as the 2nd President of the Rotaract Club of Royal Institute of Colombo. Life is unpredictable and | guess my experience in Rotaract sums this up.MESSAGE FROM THE CLUB PRESIDENT Being a part of the club since it’s charter year, | have experienced the growth and transcendence from a charter club to where it is now. | am extremely proud of how far we have come and no doubt that we will keep reaching greater heights in the future. Being awarded the ‘Most Outstanding Charter Club’ at the 3lst Rotaract District Assembly shows that none of this would have been possible without my hardworking board of directors, enthusiastic general members, rotaractors and well wishers. When I look back after my tenure , | will be filled with pride with all what our club has achieved. The great bonds | have made and strengthened throughout this rotaract journey. The friends that turned into family. The memories that | have made which | never would have if not for rotaract. The immeasurable service we have rendered as a club to the community and our country. The growth | have achieved as an individual and how rotaract has moulded me into a responsible and empathetic human being. This is an unforgettable chapter in my book of life. A piece of my heart will always remain with my club and this prestigious movement. | am eternally grateful for this Presidency and all the opportunities and experiences it has bestowed upon me.CLUB ADMINISTRATION a he -INTRODUCTION TO THE CLUB Our club under the theme ‘Together We Strive’ do our best to bring members together The Rotaract Club of Royal Institute of Colombo, chartered on the Ist of July, 2020 is a prominent institute based club since its inception.

MEETINGS The General meetings of the Rotaract club of the Royal Institute of Colombo would generally be held close to the end of each month. Meetings were held online via zoom due to the Covid 19 situation in the country and the inability of our university to host meetings with over 40 participants. We managed to conduct one physical meeting so far. Meetings were generally well attended with members showing their interests in participating and being involved.CLUB MEETINGS STRUCTURE OF THE MEETING * The meeting is called to order by the President Followed by the official rotaract salutations by a general member and rotaract song along with the Sri Lankan National Anthem. © The excuses for the meeting are read out by the secretary. ¢ Avenue directors would go on to give a brief summary of the projects they completed in the past, projects which are currently ongoing and projects which are planned for the future and encourage general members to get involved by giving them opportunities in the meetings to address their opinions. * The achievements of the club would be announced followed by the board member of the month and rotaractor of the month. It would then be followed by a brief conversation between the board and any members that wished to voice their opinions. Then the meeting will be terminated by the president.CLUB MEETINGS General Meetings Date ‘Attendance Pat duly 106 27h August 134 2éth September 135 20th October 118 2ath November 105 2aih December 89 ‘ith January 20 26th February 36 25th March 47 25th Apri 37 Board Meetings Date Attendance 2oth July 23 oth August 2 25th September 2 2ath October 2 20th Nevemiber 19 ath December 18 20th January 16 26th February 8 25th March 7 26th Apri 4 28th May 22.STRATEGIC PLAN & PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENTSTRATEGIC PLAN Club As A Brand The Rotaract Club of the Royal Institute of Colombo is recognized as a club that focuses on uplifting our community within a diverse environment. Being one of the prominent clubs in the institute we focus on community service to serve different aspects of the community during these troubled times and __ professional development to enhance our members who are undergraduates to face their future careers with ease. ‘12 days of Christmas’, which is a sustainable project for the years to come. We hope to expand the project focusing on more marginalized societies in the community. This project initially started as ‘7 Days of Christmas’. Strategic formation: RACRIC intends to be recognized as a distinguished club in Sri Lanka which conducts a lot of sustainable projects. From a novice charter club we hope to improve to a club that addresses the needs/ issues of the community by the year 2023. We strive to maintain an active and hardworking membership base and collect membership dues to face the change of Elevate Rotaract effectively rather than it being a barrier to our club’s rotaract journey. We also plan to increase our visibility and publicity by conducting successful PR campaigns.STRATEGIC PLAN We also plan to partner with other organizations for different initiatives and increase public awareness through newspaper articles.

Finance Considering our present status we are doing well as a club and not facing any financial difficulties at the moment. All the projects we have done so far, we were able to generate a surplus of funds. As an institute-based club in our second year of rotaract within a few months of operation, we currently have around 100 members on board. Regardless of the pandemic and economic crisis we were still able to carry out projects online as well as physical. We were able to build a proper social media platform in which we had shared our previous projects and updates of club activities. After completion of each project, more and more members were interested in joining the club so we were targeting a maximum of 200 members. Partnering with another Rotaract club, will help us generate funds and since we would pool in our resources, we will be able to get better exposure to attract more sponsors. We also had a stable income of membership fees, which helped us manage our administration and related expenses. Our main sources of finances were from sponsorships and donations. The members were able to bring in sponsors, both monetary and non-monetary. We were also able to generate additional funds through the sale of Rotaract T- shirt to our members.STRATEGIC PLAN Strategic formation: As mentioned previously we wish to partner up with other clubs and do joint projects. Since we already have schools under our institute's management, we plan on involving the Interact clubs from all the school branches. We also plan on partnering with other non-profit organizations to carry out meaningful projects. We believe that over time we will be able to gain more knowledge and experience, which will help us develop a good reputation and recognition for our club.We plan on approaching Companies for project financing in the form of sponsorships and building relationships that can mutually benefit both parties. We have a well-established finance team for proper maintenance of club accounts. Presenting accounts for audit annually on a timely basis. Maintaining a stable current account balance, along with a steady liquidity level. Setting up proper budgets in place for each project and the club as a whole so that expenses are under control. We have a database to crosscheck if membership dues have been paid on time and the finance team sends reminders to encourage members to pay their dues. If the membership dues are not paid during the stipulated deadline, it leads to termination of the membership.STRATEGIC PLAN Membership Criteria to be an active member: The member should have attended more than 6 General Meetings OR taken part in more than 2 of our club projects OR attended more than 2 external club projects. Provide incentives to motivate active participation in club projects (Eg, Posts of appreciation such as “Rotaractor of the month”). We aim to conduct more club service projects that aim towards members connecting and networking. We also approach inactive members and find out the reason to be inactive. acc eCd Dig Criteria for Active Member Status Paid membership fees for duration of being in the club Project Participation OR >2 Attendance for GMs OR >6 Attendance for external Rotaract projects >2STRATEGIC PLAN Strategic formation: The membership goal is to increase the member base while ensuring members are active throughout the year. The goal is to ensure that members be a part of the club throughout their years. We aim to do that through the use of social media to recognize hard working and active members. We also plan to conduct more networking events (Eg, movie night, game nights, an annual awards ceremony). Communicating with inactive members to convert them to be active. We also send out a membership survey at the end of the rotaract year to gain honest feedback from members so the quality of the club can be improved next year. Elevate Rotaract Policy Change As a club we are able to absorb the changes of the Elevate Rotaract Policies. Despite the increase in the fees, we plan to maintain the same level of members. The membership fee of the club has been increased to a $5 fee. We plan to have a retention program in terms of a club service project. We also have implemented a system where alumni of the institute can be a part of the rotaract club for a period of 2 years after graduation.YEAR PLAN project focuses on July to August ‘educating the Public on the Express Pearl disaster and volunteering fo cleanup the coastal line polluted with nurdles.
