The Rotaract Club will organize the island\u2019s very first Summer Shootout, a free throw basketball competition, as a way to fund raise for the youth organization\u2019s future events like professional development programs for high school students.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to hold a professional development workshop but, as we are going through the planning process, it turns out funding is a major issue,\u201d said Rotaract Club\u2019s Keoni Seichi during yesterday\u2019s Rotary Club of Saipan meeting at the Hyatt Regency Saipan.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Siechi wishes for the local Rotary Club to continue maintaining community projects to strengthen its relationship with the community. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Rotary Club of president-elect Marcia Ayuyu, meanwhile, said that last weekend\u2019s McFun Run raised a total of $4,190 from donations and registration fees. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great turnout,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
