Rotary minute - Student Exchange:
Kent refreshed our memory on the criteria to make kids eligible for the program. Rotary needs to have more U.S. students traveling abroad to balance program’s supply and demand. Criteria are: 16 – 18 years old, not graduated from HS, “good ambassador” type personality. Cut off date for next year’s program is October 15. Any referral or questions please, direct them to Kent.
Announcements and activities:
- Mark Gale gave us an update on last week’s – Wild on Tourism - event’s results. Attendance was superb and the highlight of the event was to have Pete locked up inside the “secure” van provided by Guaranty Bank.
