Mario Sicari volunteers to start Rotaract Club for Paramus Sunrise Rotary Club

When District Governor Joe Laureni suggested to the Paramus Sunrise Rotary Club at its Gala that they think of starting a Rotaract Club not associated with a college, former Board of Education president, Mario Sicari, immediately volunteered. Always interested in the future of our youths, Sicari is formulating plans to get this 18 to 30 year old group started.
Jim Castellanos, District Rotaract Chair for the past 5 years, also chipped in offering his advice and experience. Castellanos informed us that Paterson does have a Rotaract Club that is community based thus having pertinent knowledge.

Sicari was presented with another challenge: To keep up with the Paramus Sunrise Rotary Club's meteoric history and to get enough members to attain a charter in record time. He only needs 15 as opposed to Rotary club requirements of 20 people minimum.

Rotaract's purpose is to provide an opportunity for young men and women to enhance the knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development, to address the physical and social needs of their communities and to promote better relations between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and service.

The motto of Rotaract is: Fellowship Through Service
