Hello everyone!
At our meeting this Sunday we have the privilege of hearing from our Rotary Youth Exchange student, Erick, about life in Indonesia and his experiences thus far in Madison. As a club we spend a great amount of energy supporting Rotary Youth Exchange, so I’m excited for this meeting as an opportunity for us to further understand how our work impacts the students that we support through the program.
I am also excited to introduce a new member to our club – Casey Collins. Check out his bio below and join us this Sunday to officially welcome him to our club!
In addition to our upcoming events listed below, we have begun planning our YP Week events. Let us know what ideas you have and how you’d like to be involved.
Keep up the great work everyone – we are off to an excellent start to 2019!
Have a great Wednesday,
Chelsea Sheedy
