    Previous Week's Speaker: Robin Dunn, on her youth exchange to Ecuador.

    Robin Dunn, who spent a year in Ecuador, spoke to the club and showed slides of her trip.

    Highlights: She stayed with host families on banana plantations where all you can see is bananas. She attended catholic school and there were other exchange students in her classes. She experienced a presidential election, a volcano, and the monument for the Equator. There were pinatas at parties for adults and for children.

    Rotary helps build schools, builds public restrooms, and bring in visiting doctors.

    She made side trips to the Galapogos Islands and saw giant tortoisesm booby's, sea lions, and a frigate bird. There were white tailed deer in the zoo with squirrels.

    “If we only listen to those whom we already see eye to eye, we will never create better understanding, a concept that is at the core of Rotary.”
    -Martin G Molony, District 1160 Governor, Dublin Central, Ireland
    in The Rotarian, January 2006

    "Of the things we think, say or do:

    Is it the TRUTH?

    Is it FAIR to all concerned?

    Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

    Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
