Rotaract to hold Summer Shootout
The Rotaract Club will organize the island’s very first Summer Shootout, a free throw basketball competition, as a way to fund raise for the youth organization’s future events like professional development programs for high school students.
“We wanted to hold a professional development workshop but, as we are going through the planning process, it turns out funding is a major issue,” said Rotaract Club’s Keoni Seichi during yesterday’s Rotary Club of Saipan meeting at the Hyatt Regency Saipan.
“To help with this, we will have a $20 registration fee and the total prize is $500. It goes to the No. 1 shooter in the game,” he added.
He said the Rotaract Club has been lately giving out flyers to basketball players by visiting each basketball court around the island to encourage people to join the upcoming event.
Siechi wishes for the local Rotary Club to continue maintaining community projects to strengthen its relationship with the community.
The Rotaract Club is a service, leadership, professional and community service organization for young men and women between the ages 18-30. It is under the purview of the Rotary Club.
Rotary Club of president-elect Marcia Ayuyu, meanwhile, said that last weekend’s McFun Run raised a total of $4,190 from donations and registration fees.
“It was a great turnout,” she said.
