Their work as responsible rotaractors is evident as all three of them took the club to greater heights by making it the most outstanding club to the district in their respective years by organizing signatory projects.

The club members were also enlightened by things like the value of being a Rotaractor, the individual roles as the members of the executive committee and the importance of team work and spirit.
