In the vibrant world of Rotaract, where the spirit of service echoes through every initiative and member, two leaders stand out: Rtr. Ranuka Perera and Rtr. Tarini Nanayakkara. Serving as the Club Service Directors for the RI Year 2024-25, they embody the essence of collaboration, unity, and heartfelt service. 

Their vision extends beyond mere event planning–they’re all about creating experiences that touch hearts, unite members, and transform communities. From exciting workshops to energetic team-building activities, they infuse every moment with enthusiasm and camaraderie, turning ordinary moments into something special.

When you hear the name Tarini around the club, you might catch a few giggles and someone whispering “Apparel Avenue Directress.” This playful nickname comes from a rather comical incident during Project Synergist, and it’s a testament to how Tarini’s presence leaves an unforgettable mark, wherever she goes. Hailing from the scenic rural areas of Galle, Tarini carries with her the values of dedication and heart that are crucial in bringing the club together. With a rich track record of successful projects under her belt, Tarini is the go-to person for navigating challenges with grace and creativity.

But there’s more to Tarini than just leadership and logistics. Despite being a one-man woman, she somehow finds herself in the center of many romance rumors. Perhaps it’s the charm she radiates or her ability to bring people together—either way, she’s a beloved figure whose influence extends beyond just service.

If you’re looking for a friendly face and a helping hand, Ranuka is your guy. Known for his infectious smile and boundless energy, Ranuka brings a light-hearted vibe to the Club Service Director role. His willingness to reach out and connect with others is unmatched—whether you’re a close friend or someone he’s just met, Ranuka will make you feel like you’ve known each other for years.

Ranuka’s compassion knows no bounds, and it is this empathy that motivates him to ensure that every Rotaractor feels valued, involved, and enthusiastic about the shared mission of serving the community. However, there’s a fun side to him too –he has a reputation for being a bit forgetful, often agreeing to things he may not remember later, and sometimes even agreeing to things that might not be entirely…legal. But that’s just part of his charm! His laid-back and open nature makes him an easy person to talk to, even if you find yourself in a never-ending conversation.

Together, Ranuka and Tarini are more than just Club Service Directors; they are the architects of change and unity, expertly crafting a Rotaract experience that resonates deeply with each member.

They are the heart of the club, reminding us all that Rotaract is more than just an organization—it’s a family. And through their unwavering commitment to creating a sense of belonging, they strengthen the ties that bind us all together.

And the next time you see them at a meeting or event, remember–they’re not just planning the next big thing; they’re shaping the future of service, one smile and one conversation at a time. Let’s be inspired by their ability to bring people together through creativity, enthusiasm, and a shared sense of purpose, guiding the Rotaract Club toward a year of meaningful service and unforgettable memories. 

Rtr. Ranuka and Rtr. Tarini, here’s to an incredible journey ahead!
