YOUTH EXCHANGE HOST FAMILIES NEEDED FOR ONE NIGHT... Our Rotary Club will be sponsoring a Youth Exchange Weekend on March 2-4. Beginning Friday, March 2nd, Inbound Youth Exchange Students from around the state will be arriving for a fun-filled weekend. They will be joined by the newly identified US Outbound Exchange Students who will represent Wisconsin and the United States around the world starting in August. We are in need for places for these students to stay on Friday night, March 2nd. Your accommodations do not need to be 5-star. Normally, the Rotarian is asked to pickup between 1-3 students (a carload at most) and show them a good time on Friday evening. That may involve dinner at home with your family, taking them out to your favorite restaurant, perhaps a play or show - anything that you think they will find interesting. Make sure they get a good breakfast on Saturday morning, and then deliver them to a local location just before lunch on Saturday when the weekend officially begins. That's it - it is that easy! This is an excellent opportunity for our club to get a re-taste of the energy and enthusiasm of a Youth Exchange Student, plus get that guest bedroom and family room floor used for the first time since the holidays! Getting the chance to meet and spend a little time with these young people will instill hope that we are moving towards a better world. If you are able and interested in opening your hearth to one or more of these students for one night (March 2nd), please contact Eva Marie Restel. |
