The Bainbridge College Rotaract Club may have just been chartered but they have hit the ground running.
In October they held a "Treats Not Tricks" drive for the Bainbridge-Decatur County Humane Society. With the help of the Bainbridge College faculty and students, the BC Rotaract Club collected towels, stuffed toys, bleach, leashes, collars, wash cloths, chew bones and over $160 in cash donations. A representative from Rotaract took the donations to the Humane Society on November 7th.

On November 15th Rotaract members went to Cairo to help with Kids Against Hunger.
Rotaract Haley Chapman and Doug Griffin were at the recent Bainbridge Rotary meeting to report to the Rotary members about their experience helping with the Kids Against Hunger and also to thank the club for their $1,000 donation that made it possible for the Rotaract students to send food to Haiti. With the donation from Rotary, the Rotaract Club was able to pack and ship food for over 2,000 children.
