The annual cricket match between CCS and IIT was held on the 19th of August 2018, at the BRC grounds where the newly appointed board of directors and members of the CCS Rotaract Club enjoyed themselves as well as raised funds by setting up a bake sale.



The Bake Sale was adorned with delicious kebabs, homemade food, instant mojitos and various other beverages. Both spectators and participants enjoyed the delicacies of our food stall, while getting their thirst quenched with our remarkable mojitos, ideal after hours of getting scorched in the hot sun. The bake sale was done as a Club Service project, it was quite a success as we raised a lot of funds at the end of the day.
