Rotary Youth Exchange

Outbound youth exchange participants recently attended a Rotary Youth Exchange orientation weekend at Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio. Training and team building exercises were conducted by the Rotarians involved in the Ohio Erie Youth Exchange program which includes 10 Rotary districts in the central/eastern US and southern Canada. Jack Lundy is the Chair of the Ohio-Erie Youth Exchange and the Youth Exchange Chair for the District and PDG Bill Perrine is the chair of the outgoing youth exchange students in the district. In addition to Jack and Bill, DG Jack McAllister participated in the orientation weekend and enjoyed getting to know the students. We wish outbound students Andrew Coburn (sponsored by the Georgetown Rotary club and going to France) and Sarah Webb (sponsored by the Versailles-Woodford County Rotary club and going to Austria) safe travels and a wonderful year as they begin this extraordinary experience.
