    Do members have to attend all meetings and events?
     
    Although we encourage everyone to get involved as much as possible, we understand members have personal and professional commitments outside the club. Therefore, you do not have to attend all meetings and events. However, members are expected to attend 60 per cent of meetings. If you miss a meeting you can go to the meeting of another Rotaract or a Rotary club to make up for it. Or you can volunteer at a Rotaract or Rotary event and make it up that way.

    How does the club decide which projects to be involved with?
     
    Which community projects the club gets involved with are purely up to the members. We will consider being involved with any project, as long as it is non-political and non-religious and for a good cause. We like to support Rotary initiatives, such as PolioPlus and Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) projects.

    Where is Subiaco?
     
    Subiaco is a inner west suburb of Perth in Western Australia. The Rotaract Club of Subiaco is a part of Rotary District 9455.

    Is the club involved with projects only in Subiaco?
     
    No! The club is involved with both international and community-based projects. We have been involved in projects and events all over Western Australia, chiefly within district 9455 (north of the Swan River).

    Are there other Rotaract clubs in Western Australia?
     
    Yes! If you are interested in joining Rotaract, you are encouraged to visit other clubs in your area to help decide which one best suits you. See the Related Sites section to visit websites of other Rotaract clubs in Western Australia.


    How long has Rotaract been around?

    Rotaract was founded more than 40 years ago     on 13 March 1968 when the Rotaract Club of North Charlotte, Carolina became the first club to be chartered. However, as early as 1935, Paul Harris encountered a youth organisation based on Rotary principles in Australia. In the 1950s many youth clubs were sponsored by Rotary clubs under various names. These included the “Paul Harris Circles” in Europe and the “Rotors” clubs created in some American Universities.
