Madras Day Celebrations

On the 22^nd of August, on the special occasion of Madras Day – the 371^st Birth Anniversary of our vibrant city, about 20 Rotaractors from the Rotaract Clubs of Loyola College and Loyola Community got together and watched a show of the new flick “Madrasapattinam”. The movie was brilliant and showed us a foray of how our city was in the days gone by. We enjoyed the show and were also happy on the count that we all could spend some quality time together as one big family called ROTARACT !

Towards a Better Society

On the 30^th of July 2010, on the Occasion of the Feast of St.Ignatius of Loyola, patron saint of our college, the Rotaract Club of Loyola College gifted I-Pods with Recorders to 18 Differently Abled students from our college. This move was heartily appreciated by one and all. Though a small step, it’s a giant leap for us towards building a better society. J
