Inbound Youth Exchange Picnic in Monroe 09-08-2013

Posted on by

The Monroe Rotary Club hosted a nice picnic for the D7980 Inbound Exchange Students today at the YMCA facility in Monroe. The picnic was attended by the Inbound Youth Exchange Students, District Youth Services Leadership and many of the Host Families. Host families provide room and board and share their lives with exchange students, involving them in family, community, and cultural activities.

Rotary Youth Exchange is the opportunity of a lifetime for the more than 8,000 students who participate each year. By sharing our culture and helping students to embracing a new one, we help foster global understanding.

It was a very nice day for a picnic as the food, weather and company were perfect.

Attention Clubs: Sue Horton wants to remind you that the deadline for Outbound Youth Exchange is quickly coming approaching. Contact Sue for more details.

A very nice event for the YE participants, their families and the clubs that sponsor them.
