Greetings members and friends,
 
Demotion Party week! Everyone take note, Thursday’s meeting moves to Horseman’s Lodge for a Fiesta evening to celebrate our fabulous year and demotion of our Co-Presidents! Plan to join us for a social hour at 5:00pm and then program and dinner at 6:00pm. Details below. No noon lunch!
 
This past week we had good opportunities to meet and hear from two students in international Rotary programs offered by District 5190. At the Foundation Recognition event on the 12th, Global Scholar Wrenn Cleary spoke to an avid audience about her global scholarship to study for an MSc degree in Water Science, Policy and Management at the prestigious Oxford University in the UK. She’s excited about advancing in her chosen field of environmental science with this program.

Then, at our social meeting on the 15th, Sierra Spivack spoke to us about her upcoming year in the Rotary Youth Exchange program. She’ll be living with a host family near Milan, Italy. She is learning Italian over the summer and plans to be in more frequent communication with her new family. She expects that this new year in high school will be an "esperienza arricchente” (enriching experience).

Both Wrenn and Sierra are looking forward to their cross-cultural adventures and making new friends, thanks to Rotary and its support of global youth programs. We wish them a top-notch learning journey.
 
Yours in Rotary Service,
Carolyn (and Chris)
