David S has provided this update:
In speaking with Michael Taylor, learned that Michael is not directly involved with Rotaract Club but helps them with the race event/fundraiser
Michael understands remaining Rotaract members (believed to be just 4) are having a meeting in the next few days to decide on the future of the club; challenge is their limited time as they all have young families
Michael will pass along David’s contact info and our offer of any assistance from Rotary they would like
So we should know more in a few days
