March 7th was the first week of our new Rotaract format, where we have different Rotaracters lead the group each week to keep us Inclusive, Engaged, Involved, and On Topic.
A Rotaract Jumeirah meeting is generally split into three parts: 1) Socializing / Networking, 2) A presentation of some sort, 3) Discussion and status updates on our current projects.
819p Introduction & Summary
820p Networking Time / Ice-Breaker
Each person jotted down a question and put it into a glass, each Rotarian picks one out of the glass and answers it, along with their name & club function. Questions included:
For answers to these and other questions, you'd have to join the group;)- What's the last exciting thing you did?- What's your favorite thing about Dubai?- What's your most embarrassing moment from Childhood or Work?- How can you best help the world?- If you were a Kitchen Utensil which one would you be, and why?- Who do you love more, your mom or your dad?- If you could travel anywhere in the world, where & why?
