AGM 2009.

Taken place on the 17th of August at Pocket D4, the Annual General Meeting of RACUTP proved to be a small and succinct one. The usual speeches--by Rotarian Arthur, then Jerry the President, followed by a guest speaker--were given, as well as reports by the head of the different departments.

Rotarian Arthur talked about the history of Rotary before moving onto his belief on the power of the human subconscious mind. Jerry mentioned the objectives of RACUTP and more or less told the members how the club stands out among others. The guest speaker, Mr. Marfauza, the Senior Executive of International Students of UTP, then expressed his views and opinion on the integration between people.

The Head of Departments then went on to give a small report on their respective departments, some also informing the members of any future plannings. That was a chance for the members to finally see who the people within the committee were, and what each of the departments actually does.

After all the formality, a former Rotaractor, Chester--and friends--gave a performance (and used his dry humour) to lighten up the meeting atmosphere--after which Mr. Marfauza was called upon to give an impromptu performance. He was sporting enough to take it on, and he rocked with a Nirvana song and his left-handed power chords!

The meeting was then adjourned with refreshments served outside the hall.
