On Wednesday, October 7th, we are having a bake sale in the McConnell Engineering main building from 9:30-4:30 (or until we run out, whichever comes first). We're looking for volunteers to both bake (sweet/dessert items only please, i.e. nothing that competes with a samosa sale...), and sit at the table to sell. If you are baking, please drop off your item at 9:30 or as soon after that as possible! The shifts are every hour (9:30-10:30, 10:30-11:30, etc).
If you are able to help out, please leave a comment with your name, email, and what you are baking, or what time you can help sell!

Montclair Visit
Our first trip of the year to Montclair Elderly Home will be this Saturday, September 26! If you are interested in coming along, please leave your name in the comments section.
We are going to meet at the Sherbrooke 24 bus stop in front of the Roddick Gates (Sherbrooke & Mansfield) to catch the 1:06 pm bus. If you are not there, unfortunately we as we group will leave without out you, as we need to get to the residence by 2 PM. From the 24, we will get off at Sherbrooke/Decarie, and catch the 102 or the 105, whichever bus comes first. From that we will get off at Somerled / Walkley (102) or Sherbrooke / King Edward (105) and walk the two blocks to the residence. If you miss us at the Roddick gates at 1:06 that's no problem, just take the next 24 that comes, get off at Sherbrooke/Decarie, and take the 105 as it comes more often. Don't worry if you're a few minutes late in this case!
For future reference, or if you are traveling from elsewhere and meeting us at the residence, the address is:
Montclair Senior Home
4413, av. Montclair
Montreal, QC
If you are traveling by yourself, just ring the front doorbell and tell them you are with McGill Rotaract.

Welcome Back!
Hi everyone!
After a relatively quiet summer, we are back in business for the school year! We have a fantastic exec, lot of great activities and events, and hopefully even more members involved this year. We'll continue to use this blog to keep everyone updated on what's happening, in addition to posting sign-ups for samosa and bake sales, Montclair elderly home visits, and our new volunteering project with Dans la Rue- so keep an eye out for new posts!

24-Hour Twister
Hey everybody, great job on the fund-raising front! We raised almost 1300$ from our day-long twister game. Here are some highlights.
-Unfortunate weather had no chance to ruin our fun. We toughed through moderate rain and uncomfortable cold for a whole day! (So maybe some of our success was due to pity. It was well worth it.)
-Heather was the charitable renegade, chasing anything and everything that moved by our station. Students, teachers, any slow-moving or familiar pedestrians, bikes and eventually the president of McGill were fair game and got hassled by her. Effective, if a bit unorthodox. Her tactics WERE largely successful.
-Arian, general member extraordinaire, was inspired by Heather's tenacity and followed his first victim up halfway to the SSMU building and succeeded in wrestling some spare change for our cause. Way to go, young grasshopper.
-Manyi, who played the most games.
-Pamela, who finished off her shifts undefeated every single time.
-Stacey and Elisia, who gathered themselves up at 2am and stayed till the morning.
-Jin, who was visited around 4am while working on an essay in burnside. Sorry we bothered you... it was really wet ouside.
-The many odd and wonderful patrons who walk around McGill in the wee hours of the morning. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
-A few breaks for some Tim Horton's coffee and scones
