I'm kind of frustrated with IRC (International Relations Club). They had a meeting about next year, and it seems like they're basically turning it into International Students Club. One of the big focuses for next year is going to be a dinner night like once a month where a couple people get to share their culture. Which is a really cool idea. But. Prez of the club says something like this "we're all experiencing American culture now, but I think we should share our home cultures with each other" (not exact because this meeting happened over a week ago). So, this is about sharing cultures, but there really isn't a need to share American culture because we're living it (at least that's what it sounded like to me). I proposed also having meetings, but they took it as meetings to plan events (like the dinners). I did not join this club to be a spectator dammit.

Well this year, when I asked the leaders of the club (seniors this year) what it was about, they said to discuss important international issues. Granted, we never did that because we never had a single meeting. I'm just thinking that the 'solution' to that is kind of exclusive.

Anyways, to get back to a relevant point, that idea of having meetings to discuss issues sounds good. Or, if they insist on having "events" you could try setting up dates for a discussion group related to different issues on certain dates and then people can show up to the ones they want. That's essentially the same thing as a meeting, but the different terminology might click better with senior presidente. Well, ttfn and have a great day!
