We, the Rotaract Club of University of Peradeniya hosted a get-together, a memorable evening of fun, laughter and sentimentality, on the 25 th of August 2013, at the Engineering Faculty Common Room, as part of the Club Service projects for the year 2013/2014.  It was refreshing to see past and present members join in the activities lined up for the evening consisting of fun games and soothing music. Being in the company of  many esteemed past members once again was a treat for most of us, while they too enjoyed being reunited, amidst their busy schedules. The evening paved way for fellowship and enjoyment, and was indeed a success.   Snippets from the evening  By Sub- Editor Dayanga Randeniya    

We organized a tea party at the Psychiatric ward of the Kandy Hospital. This tea party has been one of our annual projects. The project was executed on the Vesak Poya day. There were 52 patients. We provided them with tea and snacks. The Rotaractors of RCUOP sincerely talked with them. they were also very happy because it was a change for them along with the refreshments. We were able to participate in a worthy endeavour while making the patients happy at least for a few hours. Rtr. Sanath Subasinghe and Rtr. Prasadi Boomawalage were the chair persons of the project. Their dedication was highly commendable.  Participation of the club members was also high and it was helpful to make the event successful.                                                                                                By Editor Tharu Amarasooriya
