The Tunisian GSE team arrived May 6 and departed May 12. There was a welcome dinner at the Nittany Lion Inn during the evening club's meeting. On Wednesday Herwigs was our host for lunch, and dinenr was a cookout at Paul's camp. The team was in attendance at our membership drive meeting on May 8. Wednesday and Thursday were vocational days and Friday was dedicated to a tour of Penn State and district conference activities. Saturday night found the club at Indigo (formerly Players) with Rebecca Friedman, Paul, and his wife Anne to show the team what a college dance club is all about. The team was a real pleasure to host and escort around. It's a shame more Rotarians don't get involved in such a wonderful experience.
