Meeting Minutes - March 7th, 2011

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:
- 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?
For answers to these and other questions, you'd have to join the group;)
