As club secretary, Arnaiz is tasked to maintain all club records, record minutes of all the meetings of the club and of the board, and provide copies of such to the sponsor club(s) upon request. Arnaiz was also chosen to chair a new committee: Committee on Education and Literacy. According to RCMPSA President-Elect Audrey Pulga, she wanted Arnaiz to head the Education and Literacy Committee in her term because of the latter’s experience in teaching/tutoring and her wonderful advocacies in HKK Pilipinas.

Part of Pulga’s plans is to intensify the education program of RCMPSA and she believes that Patricia Arnaiz is suited for the position.

In communities worldwide, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to take action through service.
