<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> We covered various topics prepared by each member and the issue on 'fat tax' for a debate. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> It was all fun and refreshing to listen to other's oppinions. </span></span></p>
