On September 14, I decided to attend a club meeting. I looked at a list of clubs online on the Baruch page and decided I wanted to go to an Unicef meeting. So at club meeting time I went to the room that Unicef is supposed to be held in. The club was smaller than I expected and they were serving pizza and soda to everyone. I took a seat and was immediately welcomed by a boy who I later on found out was a board member. When the president started his PowerPoint, I realized I was in the wrong club. The club was actually Fusion, Filipinos Uniting Students In Other Nations. I was flustered by my mistake but I decided to stay and see what exactly the club is about. This was the club’s second general interest meeting so I got a broad understanding. The powerpoint spoke in depth about a contest/pageantry: Mr. Philippines. It is a contest numerous colleges take part in. Contestants put on performances and show their talents to win. Ironically the president of the club has won before, but for Hunter College, not Baruch. There isn’t much of a focus of Fusion besides exploring and getting to know Filipino culture better. After the introduction, ice breaker bingo was played and we all went around trying to find people who fit the requirements to win one of the three cups of cookie dough that were prizes. Then we broke up into small groups and we did a treasure hunt to compete for the remaining cookie dough. There were many silly riddles like “show me a picture of your group”. I included the picture we took. My team actually won third place and so we got some cookie dough to eat. It was sugar cookie and super sweet! Overall I had a lot of fun even though this club was not the one I originally planned on attending. The people were really friendly and kind. I laughed a lot and enjoyed myself. Maybe I’ll continue to attend meetings and learn more about Filipinos. After all, everyone is welcome to join the club!
