Previous Week's Speaker: We had ten youth exchange students visit.

We had the following returning outbound students visit. Kyle Dornan who visited Chile; John DOckenbaugh who visited Malaysia; Claudia Torres who visited Belgium; Taylor Barnes who visited Venezuela and Mexico; Jami Eberly who visited Peru; and Tyler Wagner who visited Germany. Our incoming students were Myumi from Japan; Paul Beauregard from Paris, France; and Lucas from Slovakia.
After listening to their comments, it is perfect reasoning to believe what we do as Rotarians matters so much. They were a huge credit to Carl Hill and Helene Koontz for all of their great work in selecting youth exchange students. Nice job Carl and Helene!! (I think I'll up my Paul Harris Fellow gift this quarter!)
