Youth Exchange -
Youth Exchange is one of the most popular programs to promote
international understanding and develop lifelong friendships. It began
in 1927 with the Rotary Club of Nice, France. Exchanges in Europe
continued until World War II and resumed after the war in 1946. In
1939, an extensive Youth Exchange was created between California and
Latin America. Since then, the program has expanded around the world.
In recent years, more than 7,000 young people have participated
annually in Rotary club- and district-sponsored exchange programs.

As many of you remember we are having a book drive to help send books back to Brazil. Monia is our GRSP student from Brazil and she is going to coordinate distribution to English classes in her community through her Rotaract Club.
We really need children's books! We have received lots of adult books but most of the students are early reader children.
Please remember to bring books to the meeting; we will be collecting books through the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, November 24.
