Basseterre, St Kitts; 12 March 2015 -- As indicated in a presentation by the President of the Rotaract Club of St Kitts at a meeting of the Rotary Club of Liamuiga, “Rotaract Clubs are either community or university based, and are sponsored by local Rotary Clubs. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. The motto of Rotaract is Fellowship through Service, which focuses on the building of bonds of friendship among club members while they endeavour to serve their community.”
Rotaract Clubs are part of the youth arm of Rotary International with over 9,500 clubs worldwide and nearly 220,000 members. There are over 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide who are members of over 34,000 clubs in over 200 countries.
The first Rotaract Club was established in 1968 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Rotaract Club of St Kitts received its charter in 1986, mainly through the efforts of then Rotarian President Charles Wilkin, Attorney At Law, QC and member of the Rotary Club of St Kitts, who spearheaded the effort to get the Rotaract Club established.
