Youth Exchange Out bound briefing


District 9650 is most fortunate in having such a great Youth Exchange team in Bob & Jan Crombie; James & Diana Christian; Wendy Blaker;  Paul & Elizabeth Tollis.This team’s approach is highly professional and their dedication to the welfare of the YEP’s as well as the integrity of the  program is impressive.  The exchange students are potential Rotarians and therefore these programs guard the future of Rotary. The briefing program held last week-end was very comprehensive and covered almost all scenarios . The parents and students would have left the briefing well-informed and well-armed!  It would be great to have more Rotarians involved in witnessing these briefings. The students deliver confident and often humorous speeches and it really warms the heart to know that within our communities we have such wonderful young people!Congratulations to the Youth Exchange team, your work is much appreciated!
