Off to Baguio to talk Roteract

I am on my way to Baguio City which is in the north of The Philippines and in the mountains to attend the Rotary District conference and hopefully also the Rotaract District conference running alongside. At the Rotary Conference my team will be giving a presentation on the trip and what we have learnt. At the Rotaract conference, I hope to speak about my experiences as well. I am a former member and Past President of Rotaract in Bolton. I was President of Horwich & Blackrod Rotaract Club (now dissolved) in 1995-1996. Rotaract is the junior arm of Rotary for ages 18-30 so it will be good to see what Rotaract is up to here in The Philippines and what projects they are involved with. Unfortunately back at home in District 1280, Rotaract has seriously declined since I was a member with only a couple of Cubs left so it will be interesting to see what their secret of success is here in attracting young people to get involved. I do hope that Rotary in District 1280 and indeed throughout RIBI, will try to sponsor more Rotaract Clubs before it dies completely.
