Once Again, Hello Rotaractors and Future Rotaractors!
It has been three long years since I have joined Rotaract and now this year is going to be my fourth year with Campus Rotaract Club of Davis. It is quite rare for anyone to start a club in their freshmen year and stuck by it up into their senior year but I am making that exception. That just shows you how much Rotaract means to me. Rotaract doesn’t just mean doing community service, but it is do community service with amazing people who share the same goal as you. To help serve the community makes me feel good and it makes other feel appreciated. As old Rotaractor faces may remember me as that Historian director two years ago or Service director just last year, but this year I am grateful to be the President. My goal is to share my experiences with you and show you how amazing each members are. Besides all that, a little about myself, I’m a big manga freak, love to play competitive in sports, and hold an enjoyment in watch k-drama and listening to k-pop. Please feel free to come up to me and ask me questions about anything you like. (:

DIRECTORS OF SERVICE [service@crcdavis.org]
Reginald Lai
Electrical Engineering
3rd Year, Junior
Oh why hello there! My name is Regi and I am one of the Co- Directors of Service. Although this is 1st year as being an officer and my 2nd year being involved in Rotaract, my journey of being a part of Rotary International began with Interact in high school. Other than volunteering, I enjoy a broad spectrum of things in life but if I had to choose, longboarding and music are my passion! I will always be seen with either my longboard or my Ukulele/Guitalele and I’m always down to jam or board with others. So come by, introduce yourself, and feel free to ask me anything because there is no such thing as a dumb question! Okaybye
Lisa To
Economics and Computer Science
3rd Year, Junior
Hello Stranger! My name is Lisa To. So what is there to know about me? Well, many things quite frankly. I am a complex and dynamic person who enjoys the little things in life, like flipping my pillow after I’ve rested on it for awhile to feel the cool side against my face. Oh yes, you know what I’m talking about. I have been a part of the Rotaract family for three years and counting now, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. This year I have the pleasure of returning on board as one of your Co-Directors of Service, and I look forward to the fun and exciting things we have in store for you guys! I enjoy a good dose of pop culture, with the movie aspect of it being my main point of interest. If you can understand my pop culture references then we are bound to get along! Also, if you are a fan of Doctor Who (which I proudly am) then our friendship is already a fixed point in time, if you know what I mean. Anytime is adventure time for me and if you love adventure too then come join me whenever you like!
DIRECTORS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT [prodev@crcdavis.org]
Samuel Porras
Environmental Science and Management
3rd Year, Junior
Hello my name is Sam and I am your co-director of Professional Development (ProDev)! I’ll be responsible for helping you create networking opportunities with professionals in your major and providing helpful tips about finding and getting internships, volunteerships, and/or jobs. I have been involved with Rotaract since the Fall kick-off meeting of my freshman year and this past year I was the co-director for Membership. I am from the small city of Modesto, in the central valley for those who are familiar with our famous triple-digit temperatures! I enjoy biking, kneeboarding, playing board games, hanging out with friends, discovering new music, movies or places and of course volunteering with Rotaract! I hope to one day work at the EPA after graduating from Davis and to study abroad at some point in my Davis career. As for quirks and/or interesting facts I love rocky road ice cream, ketchup (but never together!) and horror movies. But enough about that. Seriously though joining Rotaract has been one of the best things I could have ever done here at Davis. Its one of the few places you’ll meet great people, make enduring friendships, create strong networks, and contribute your services to well-deserving appreciative people. Hopefully you’ll get to know me more and I’ll be here for any questions regarding Rotaract or your time at Davis. I look forward to meeting you all!
Anthony Picco
Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior
3rd Year, Junior
Hello folks, my name is Anthony (legally) and I am one of the codirectors of Professional Development! This is my second year with the Rotary family but my first as part of the board of directors. What can I say, after only one year in Rotaract I wanted to get more involved with these great people in helping out with service projects. After all, the reward knowing that you helped someone is priceless. Those that know me know I love to laugh and make others laugh. I have my shy moments, especially with people I don’t know, but if you put in the effort to really know me I’m probably crazier than you’d expect (in a fun way, of course). One thing that’s odd about me is that I don’t really use my first name except for formal introductions. Most people actually call me by my last name, Picco (I’ve been told it sounds better, so I stick with it). I also have a confession to make: I’m addicted to sugar. I can guarantee you that I will love you forever if you give me sweets I really don’t need, especially Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Just don’t leave the bag of candy in front of me though, I have no self control. I’m always willing to help people out and I don’t turn down opportunities to hang out just to get to know people, so don’t be shy, come say hi!

DIRECTORS OF MEMBERSHIP [membership@crcdavis.org]
Alisa Seng
Biochemistry and Molecular Cellular Biology Major
3rd Year, Junior
Hey there!
My name is Alisa Seng (pronounced: UH-LEE-SAH). It’s ok if you get it wrong, I pretty much respond to anything. I am one of your Co-Directors of Membership! This means that I, along with my Co (Henry), will be planning all sorts of fun for old and new members to get to know each other, make connections, and just have an all-out awesome school year. I hope you are ready for this! This will be my second year being a part of Rotaract, and I love every minute of it. I am a 3rd year and a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major (I know you’re probably cringing a bit on the inside). I love meeting new people, spending my time helping the community, and going on adventures. I like to try to have a new adventure every day, or well at least once a week! I also love exploring new restaurants, singing, dancing, and playing a good competitive match of pretty much any sport. Something quirky about me which I tell people all the time is I love fat animals with stubby legs, especially corgis and pigs!!! I’m super friendly, so please feel free to approach me and get to know me a bit because I would love to meet you! Just one person can make a difference in the world, think of the possibilities if we were to make a difference together! Sweet
Henry Lam
Managerial Economics
3rd Year, Junior
I joined Rotaract just last spring quarter, (that’s right, one quarter ago), and here I am; co-director of membership. I knew two people when I joined the club spring quarter. Honestly, I had no interest in community service, and never liked staying late to attend the weekly meetings. You might be thinking some mean things about me because of that, but things drastically changed after joining Rotaract and from the little time I was a part of this club they became my close friends. After my first volunteer event, I knew that this was going to the club that I will stick with. The volunteers had the warmest welcoming which made me instantly feel a part of the group and with every event I attended, the closer I got to more members. One of the biggest reasons why I wanted to become director of membership is to give opportunities to members to find there spot in this group and by planning awesome events, insane parties, and relaxing retreats. And I assure you, Alisa and I will make this happen and make this year the best year of college.
DIRECTORS OF PUBLICITY [publicity@crcdavis.org]
Francisco Torres Jr.
Biological Sciences
3rd Year, Junior
Hi, my name is Francisco Torres, but you can just call me Frankie! I am one of your Co-Directors of Publicity. I am a 3rd year Biological Sciences major. Some things about me: I enjoy staying active by going to the ARC, playing basketball with my friends and running. If you ever see me see me on campus, don’t be a stranger and just come up and say hi! I’m a nice guy so if you say hi, I’ll say hi back (if I don’t say hi first!!). On to my role as a director, I plan to put my utmost effort into publicizing Rotaract and our club out there in the world. We’ll hold lots of fun events, so come out and join us. I know we’ll have a FUN AND GREAT year, but more importantly, we’ll be helping our community and those around the world with our efforts. And that’s the best part. So come out and give what you can to help those in need. See you guys around.
Computer Science and Engineering
3rd Year, Junior
Hey Rotaractors! My name is Connie Nguyen and I’m one of your directors of Publicity. I’m a 3rd year studying Computer Science and Engineering at Davis. So I guess a couple things that you should know about me is that I love adventures and spontaneous trips to the beach! And no, I don’t like long walks on the beach but I do love building sandcastles! I love drawing, and animation is a huge passion of mine. So anytime you see an animated movie in theaters, you can be sure that I’ve seen it! I like playing basketball but also love watching it. GO GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS!
As director of Publicity this year, I’m planning to put my utmost effort into turning our club into one of the most well-known and highly respected clubs at UC Davis. So look out for more fun events, greater people, and an even better Campus Rotaract Club this year! Bleeding red REPRESENT!
HISTORIANS [historians@crcdavis.org]
Biological Sciences
2nd Year, Sophomore
Hi guys! My name is Lucretia Kim and I am one of your historians for the 2012-2013 school year. I have been apart of the Rotary family for about four years now and I knew that once I got to college, Rotaract was definitely on my list of “clubs to join.” Being apart of Rotaract has given me the opportunity to give back to the community, learn the professional/ business side of how a club operates, and gain a few friendships along the way. Besides volunteering, I enjoy long walks on the beach and watching the sunset. Just kidding (however, that would be nice). I actually enjoy just hanging out with friends and doing spontaneous things. I love the smell of rain and freshly brewed coffee, even though I do not like coffee. Ironic, I know. I love the cold, I can literally sleep in 60 degree weather (well, as long as I have layers of blankets). I love Mexican food! YUMM! My favorite color is yellow, even though I don’t really own anything yellow. In my spare time, I play board games, basketball, tetris, go biking and hiking, and fight dragons. Aside from my oh so crazy life, I love meeting new people. Come by and get to know me and the rest of the Rotaract family!
Ellen Liang
Cellular Biology
2nd Year, Sophomore
Hey guys, I’m Ellen! I’ve been a part of Rotaract since Freshman year and I have enjoyed every single moment of it! Rotaract is a great way to meet fellow peers who enjoy volunteering as well as having fun at socials and member events. It is also a great way to start immersing yourself in the professional world and meeting Rotarians.
I love many things – this and that! Camping, swimming, star gazing, dogs, drum corps, drawing, napping, eating, perhaps even studying! There are so many odd and random facts about me. My friends usually associate me with a squirrel, thought I don’t really see the resemblance–maybe it’s my nuttiness? Anyways, I do get distracted easily and I could never sit still after having a any frappuccino with loooots of whipped cream and caramel/chocolate drizzled on top.
Stop by during a meeting and maybe I could learn a little about YOUR craziness!
