You may or may not know that Rotary has been involved in youth exchange for decades! Their program both brings foreign students to the US and sends US students to other countries. This fall our local area is welcoming a foreign exchange student (starting in mid-August). We're looking for an initial host family (about a 4 month commitment) for this high school student. If this is something you are interested in, please email us at [email protected] for additional information.

This week we recognized club member Norman Walzer for earning "Major Donor" status through his generosity to the Rotary International Foundation. Over his 17+ years of membership, Norm has made enough donations to earn Level 1 Major Donor honors. At our club meeting several members from District 6420 attended to award him a crystal recognition piece and a Major Donor lapel pin. The Rotary Foundation uses donations to fund both local and international efforts that align with the organization's goals. Norm becomes only the third member of our club to achieve this honor. Thanks for all you do for our club, our community and Rotary Internation, Norm!
