On the 4th of October, our club have organized a Skytrex adventure where we have invited our Rotarians to take part with us. Our goal was to have fellowship between members and Rotarians and at the same time, our club is looking forward to a stronger bond between the Rotaract Club and the Rotary Club.

We did lots of activities together such as climbing up the trees (becoming Tarzan) and going through the swinging bridge. Though those activities may be challenging but our Rotarians managed to pull themselves through.

Prez JT: I am very afraid look..

All ears for briefing.

Rotarian John who is being the oldest amongst the Rotarians, managed to complete all the obstacles. He has inspired all of us to complete the whole challenge. At the same time, our Rotaract Advisor Rtn Patrick Ang was constantly cheering all of us from above the trees =)

After the event, we had a joint meeting with Rotaract Club of Gombak. Our club is slowly opening up to other club where we can look forward to built more network with other rotaractors. Once the meeting had adjourned, we had fellowship at a steamboat and bbq buffet Restaurant called Talipon at Kuchai Lama.

Blogmaster note: Our part time Skytrex insructors, Rtr Gun and Leong King taught us the mechanics of using the harness for safety.

Club Assembly and Makan-Makan trip to Ipoh and Penang (20 Sep 2008)

RAC Port Klang Centennial had our Club Assembly and Makan-Makan trip to Ipoh and have tried their famous morning Dim Sum, and even have the chance to try one of the best Soya Bean at Ipoh.

This makan-makan trip involved Rotaractors from our club and also rotaractors all the way from Rac Subang, Rac Gombak and Rac Penang City. The group was big and we had a great time together.

We are quite lucky to have some of the local Penang rotaractors to guide us and bring us around town to taste all the good foods.

At the same time, we gave our IPP Hui Hui a surprise birthday celebration during Penang City's Installation and I'm sure she's happy with it. Hui Hui. You owed us a Birthday Party ya.

This makan-makan trip is held together with our Club Assembly to review on Hui Hui's term and some review of my term and how the club have progress and should progress.

Networking between Rotaractors and Interactors

Dear fellow Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors and guests

I'm Jia Thiam (Current President of Rac of Port Klang Centennial).

I would like to start this network system involving the Rotaractors and Interactors where Interactors will recive emails of all of our club'c activities, meeting minutes and other agendas to keep the Interactors updated on what Rotaract is all about and what do we actually do.

If Interactors do find some of our activities interesting, you can actually drop by and participate with us. At the same time, Interactors can keep us updated on your daily activities and let us guide you in your activities and we might even attend your projects and activities. The more the merrier.

By the time the Interactors have completed their high school, those interested ones may join the Rotaract Club and continue making friends around Malaysia and probably the world.

Let us start this network systems and let us keep in touch between the Rotarctors and Interactors

May we have a great term ahead of us

Club meeting: Sept 18: Women's Best Friend "DIAMONDS

Dear members and rotarians,

As you all have known, we had a speaker session where we have invited Mr. Loh T.H. to give a talk on diamond.

We are even thankful that he brought REAL diamond and showed them to us.

We're grateful that he brought some of his equipment and shared his knowledge on diamond.

Though this session was short for one to grasp the whole knowledge on diamond, but is good enough for one to avoid getting cheated.

For those who have missed the talk, pictures are attached with this mail. And I managed to get a copy of his power point and the soft copy is still with Leong King.

Waiting for you to share this valuable piece of information for those who have missed lar. But sorry lar. You will understand the powerpoint better if you're at the meeting place itself.

Club blogmaster note: Sob! sob!.I missed the meeting as I was in Singapore.

Part II: Snapshots of Rotaract clubs installation..it is for fellowship, fun and to raise funds.

Indeed in the last few months, as fellow rotaractors, it is customary to visit other clubs and support their annual installation.

One of the unique club that always had hilarious ways to raise community service project shortfall is RAC Subang.

Members and especially the club presidents ate wasabi, dancing wearing a oversized bra and inpersonate human pole dancing.

Other club installation made all of us dressed in the same colour clothing (orange) to match the theme (RAC Gombak).

Or, either members had do the sexy poses (showing some muscles) to win attractive prizes (Pic of Gun won a lunch voucher at Carcosa Seri Negara) after some slick moves

Some rotaract club installation are really formal this year (RAC Penang City) round but, as smart Rotaractors, we know how to mix the fun, formality and play.

Pic 2: The boat trip back to Port Klang

On 2 August 2008, RAC Port Klang had our first community service project, bringing the Saint Vincent De Paul (SVP) children (Klang) to Pulau Ketam.

It was our club's community service director Nanthini first project. The unforgettable moments was that the rest of use missed boarding the train as the train door alarm started to beep fast.

Ended up, we drove the children up instead of waiting for another round of train service which was about half an hour later to reach Port Klang.

Joining us as our loyal supporter for community service, DRRE Amanda Lam from RAC Gombak who came to join us to help us.

We went to visit the aquaculture farm, then had seafood lunch and tour around the small island. Yes..being a personal tour guide to this group of children.

Pictures of the outing for memories...

After Pulau Ketam outing: Futsal with SVP orphans (23.08.2008)

Dear members,

As you all may know that we've bring 6 children from SVP for a friendly match of futsal. I can see in their face that they were all excited and the bond we shared with them from Pulau Ketam, have eventually grew with this activity.

We definitely have a great time together amongst the Rotaract members and the kids.

I would like to thank Rtr Nanthini for being the OC for this project and the rest of the members who's willing to sacrifice their Saturday morning for this friendly futsal match.

I'm looking forward to another outing with all of you

Pictures attached for members and guests who have missed the event. Is one you should not miss for sure.
