Our District celebrated August as Rotary Membership and New Club Development Month by installing the President and the 12 young, energetic, passionate Charter members of the community-based Aspire. NY Rotaract Club, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Hope NY. This is the first Club in the District this year and the third new Rotaract Club in two years, bringing the number of Rotaractors in the District to 69 in 5 Rotaract Clubs.

President Minhaz Ahmed assured the DG that his members will become an asset for the District and will "aspire" to be a model for other Rotaract Clubs in the District.
