7020 CHALLENGE
PROJECT SUMMARY For the year 2014-2015, Rotaract District 7020 will be tying in our unique district number; 7020, and the theme, Helping Hands, Touching Hearts, Changing Lives to carry out our district project. The District Project for this year will be a project series where clubs across the district will complete various projects amounting into our district number 7020 ( 70 hours & 20 minutes) in one or multiple categories based on the theme.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES To develop and increase the presence of District 7020 s Rotaract Clubs in their respective communities. To increase club activity and community service across the district. To encourage joint projects with other organizations. To help resolve issues in the community.
HELPING HANDS Volunteering/ Partnering with other organisations Earlyact Red Cross Interact Boy/Girl Scouts Rotaract Leo Rotary Lions
TOUCHING HEARTS Health and Social Issues Working with homeless/underprivileged children Polio eradication Awareness campaigns Fitness programs Assisting the elderly Run for a cause
CHANGING LIVES Fostering Mentorship and Education Literacy programs Mentorship programs Environmental upkeep program Vocational development sessions College fairs for high school students Educational panel discussions Water & Sanitation awareness Big brother/sister programs
HOW TO ACHIEVE THE PROJECT GOAL Each member can earn points individually by attending and assisting with projects that fall within the three categories of service. The more members that are involved, the faster and effective this project will be. Example of how the points are broken down: If ten club members facilitate a mentorship program for an half hour, their club earns five hours of service toward the 70 hours 20 minutes goal. Take it a step further: Should clubs wish to challenge themselves, they can go for 7020 minutes which equates to 117 hours.
HOW WILL THE POINTS BE LOGGED Points will be logged on a sheet and to be completed by the Club s president or ADRR and must be submitted to District Project Chair Antonio by March 31 st 2015.
