YOUTH EXCHANGE NEWS!
The Youth Exchange Committee is pleased to announce that the Youth Exchange program is gearing up for the new academic year 2022-2023. Although they are not hosting students this year (2021-2022), they are looking for students who are interested in spending a year overseas next year. Here are three ways you can help the Youth Exchange Committee: 1) If you know any high school sophomores or juniors (or their parents) let them know about the Rotary Youth Exchange program and that there is an informational meeting for students and parents by zoom on Saturday, September 25at 9:00 a.m. 2) Send YE Committee Chair Walt Tilley the names and contact information of any high school sophomores or juniors who are interested in learning more about our exchange program, and Walt will send a Zoom link for the information meeting. 3) Volunteer to help the YE committee. The work this year is light because they are not hosting students, so it is a great time to learn about the exchange program and get involved! Thank you!
IDEA - Survey respondents agreed that education about diversity will enhance the club, but fewer think that the club has provided programs that increase our understanding of diversity. What education or experience increased your personal understanding of diversity? Can we replicate that experience in a Rotary program? Questions or comments? Please email Cal Weary (calweary@gmail.com) or Jen May (jgm14@psu.edu)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MEMBERS:
September 29 Bob Baccon, Jeff Poet and Kevin Appnel October 1 Steve Feldmann
