About Rotary E-Club of 3310

Rotary CyberClubs started as an initiative of RI Preisdent 2000-2001 Frank Devlyn.

Following the 2001 Council on Legislation, RI Board agreed to support a pilot project to establish Rotary CyberClubs with innovative and flexible constitutional provisions.

Rotary E-Club of 3310 was officially chartered on 15 June 2004 with 21 founding members. We became the 1st operating CyberClub in Asia and the 8th in the Rotary World.

Each Rotary CyberClub is unique. Besides cybermeetings, we incorporated at least one physical meeting each month. We also have a non-voting "Associate" category for Rotaractors and full-time students.

The projects undertaken by Rotary E-Club of 3310 are fairly diversified although many have youth components in them.

Brookside Mission Trips -- Each year, we lead a team of youths to do community service work at Rotary International Village @ Brookside in Philippines. We have contributed funds towards the building of Brookside Children's Center and some houses for the destitute.

Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) -- Since our inception, Club members have helped out as trainers and facilitators. RYLA is a 4day/3night residential programme for youth aged 15 to 25. Many past participants have reported life changing experiences.

Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) -- For the third successive year, we are involved with our counterpart in Manila, Philippines. Youths work in pairs and represent one country other than their home country as ambassadors. At MUNA, they engage in lively debates on current world issues.

West Timor Mission Trip -- In our first year, we had a team of 18 youths to have hands-on involvement at Rosiln Orphanage and with local residents. Next year, we are looking at a delegation of some 40 youths for another 16 days mission.


Literacy & Water Projects -- We have done Matching Grant projects to provide a mobile library and stock up books for the children in West Timor. We are also exploring the possiblity of putting a boring well as the country has an acute water shortage problem -- it rains only two months in a year. Together with another Rotary Club in Australia, we may send a group of Rotary Volunteers (at their own expense) to teach English.

Natural Disasters Relief Efforts -- Our Rotarians have collected cash and donation-in-kind to help relief works for flood victims in Philippines and Malaysia. During the Tsunami disasters, we provided aids to far away countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand. Rotary E-Club 3310 also helped co-ordinate the distribution of 500 wheelchairs, donated to beneficiaries in Singapore.

Avoidable Blindness Programme -- Eyescreening and talks for senior citizens were done at Rotary Family Service Centre, Clementi, and Rotary-Ayer Rajah Students Care Centre. We have also organised to do a similar event for ITE College East's staff, lecturers, parents and friends.

Shine On, Singapore! Award for Unsung Heroes -- This is a District Vocational Service Award organised by our Club. The Award is present to someone who has practiced Rotary's ideals of "Service Above Self" using his/her vocation as part of his/her daily life.

"My Wish" Project -- The fund is to help terminally ill adults fulfil one final wish before passing on. This faciliates closure for both the patients on the final journey as well as their families.

ITE College East Interactors and proposed eRotaract Club -- Both help our members to remain focused and to play the role of mentors to these youths. Projects undertaken jointly include the Rotary Flag Day to help raise funds for Rotary Family Service Centre and overseas mission trips...
