Rotaract Networking: Youth Day 

This event is on Saturday, March 17th from 11:30am-5:00pm. Interact, Rotaract, Earlyact, Essex & RYLA sponsored youth are all welcome. Each will participate in two tracks, the track on train-the-trainer for Interact's Peer Leadership & Depression Prevention (PLDP) project and the track for the paper airplane championship.

The stakes are high for the winning airplane so your Rotary sponsored group should host preliminary competitions in the weeks preceding March 17. The championship will be won by the paper airplane with the furthest cumulative distance reached in five throws toward an end line.

In the weeks following the championship, participants will be invited to help:

  • engineer the winning design into a 50 foot version
  • assemble its framework
  • complete the plane by applying artwork as ‘skin’
  • view the launch to enter the Guinness Book of World Records

RULES - Standard weight copy paper or ruled paper is allowed to create the paper airplane, its original size must be 8.5 x 11” and it will be thrown by hand. Nothing can be added, such as tape, glue nor paint.

Please note there is a separate competition for the best art with a paper airplane.  It has no rules (both origami and painted pieces are welcome, for example)  other than to bring it with you on March 17 for the independent judging.

11:30am registration; Noon lunch and icebreakers, 12:30pm-2:30pm concurrent tracks; 2:30p4:30pm switch tracks; 4:30-5pm celebration!

Please register here!! This is free for all participants and we will be carpooling for the event.

Event: Improbable Players
 
 
Join us on April 3, 2018 from 7:00-9:00pm for an impactful experience from Improbable Players, which features a performance on opioid addiction and features an interactive talk back session to debrief what we experienced. The stories portrayed by Improbable Players are based off of real life experiences from the actors who are all in long term recovery. The performances showcase relatable details that simply cannot be generated by those who have not had these experiences.
 
According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 22.5 million people (8.5 percent of the U.S. population) aged 12 or older needed treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem and only 4.3 million (18.5 percent) received any treatment. The large number of individuals dealing with substance use disorders who lack adequate treatment indicates a great need for education on this issue so that us health care professionals are capable of supporting these individuals.
 
This experience will be incredibly impactful for the students who are preparing to enter to become health care professionals. This performance will provide a unique perspective from those who have entered the health care system with this condition, and share their struggles and successes of their providers. Through this profound performance, we develop a deeper understanding of our client’s perspective and life experience to ensure that we can be the most effective providers and positive supports within the community. 
 
We are grateful for the support and funding in part by the Social Impact Grant from the Boston University Arts Initiative!
This event is free of cost. More information here

Service Project: Fenway Green Team
 
 
Join us Saturday, April 14th at 12:00pm at Fenway as we work as part of Fenway's Poland Spring Green Team! This project involves picking up recyclables in the stands in between innings in an effort to keep Fenway clean and green. Volunteers will get a free T-shirt, a voucher for free food and drink, and get to watch a game for FREE! Volunteers only need to stay until the 7th inning, but are welcome to stay for the duration of the game. The Red Sox will be playing the Orioles, but no matter what team you're rooting for, all are welcome to join us! Please contact Jennast@bu.edu to sign up and for more information.
