On Sunday August 18th the Rotary Club of Lexington and the
University of Kentucky’s International Hospitality Program co-hosted a picnic
for international students entering UK this fall. The picnic, which has been
taking place since 1968, was held on UK’s campus at the E.S. Good Barn. Students
from 24 different countries attended the picnic along with their host families.
Included in the picnic fare were “All American” hamburgers with all the
toppings, corn on the cob, and chocolate chip cookies, which appeared to be a
big hit with the crowd! Door prizes consisting of Rotary merchandise were given
to those students who traveled the longest, spoke the most languages, visited
the most continents, and lived closest to the equator. Good times were had by
everyone and the students really appreciated Rotary’s outreach and
hospitality.
