Kickstarting the RI year of 2022-23, Rotaractors of RACUOCFMF were able to welcome newbies in a glamorous and successful way with INCEPTION. 300+ participants were excited and enthralled to be a part of the Rotaract movement, yet, the fear of the unknown was growing within them. To eradicate that fear within them and to familiarise them with the concepts, the people, the phases and the fun aspect of Rotaract, we conducted INCEPTION which was tremendously successful in familiarising them and helping them step into the world of Rotaract. INCEPTION 2022 kicked off with 300+ individuals joining our online platform on the 16th of July and with a wonderful opening to the event carried out by non other than our President Rtr. Gajaba Senarathne along with Rtr. Samindi Weerakoon, the ever-so-loving Secretary of the club. With that wonderful opening, INCEPTION continued with the executive committee introductions, where the newbies got to see and understand how the Ex-co works and also the people in it.

The avenue introductions were conducted by the respective avenue directors and they made sure it was super fun, exciting and interesting for the newbies so that they are quite thrilled and comfortable to work in these avenues, to come up with projects and be an asset to the club in the future.
The avenue introductions began with Club Service Directors Rtr. Thinali and Rtr. Chanuka giving a brief introduction about what Club Service is. Consequently, they moved into a fun game of “Most Likely To Be”, which helped the participants comprehend that if they wanted to know more about their club and club members, they would have to engage in Club Service projects that would help build camaraderie and engagement within the club. The segment ended with a beautiful performance by Rtr. Binura Thalavinna showcasing the unknown talent within the incoming batch.
Following up, we had Community Service hosted by avenue directors Rtr. Janul and Rtr. Vishvi with insights from the previous directors, giving the participants an in-depth understanding of how important Community Service is. Projects done under the avenue in previous years were highlighted for the newbies to further understand the avenue.
Moving on to Professional Development, avenue directors Rtr. Theeksha and Rtr. Melisha demonstrated an interesting presentation that involved a barrel of laughs and a lot of sentiment where the newbies were exposed to how important Professional Development is for their personal life and how much of a service this renders as an avenue of the club for their personal advancement. A job well done by Rtr. Theeksha and Rtr. Melisha incorporating all three languages into their presentation gave the newbies a very positive outlook on what Rotaract is.
