District Training Seminar

Each club is asked to send their club Youth Exchange Officer (YEO) or a representative. You will not want to miss this day of youth exchange activities. We will hear from our two returning Tennessee students, Kacey Rice and Kaitlyn Hamilton, who have spent the last 11 months in the Netherlands and Germany, respectively. Kacey is sponsored by the Lewisburg RC: Kaitlyn is sponsored by the Columbia Noon Rotary Club. This will also be an opportunity to meet our new international in-bound students. It appears that District 6760 will host up to seven students for the coming year, beginning in August, 2006.
In addition, Alan Wylie, our friend and long-time youth exchange officer from Houston, Texas will be present to train all attending Rotarians on recent changes in the Rotary International youth exchange program. Please mark your calendar for August 12, 2006 for this district-wide event.
Contact our District 6760 YEO Officer, Tommy Martin
FYI: History of Rotary Youth Exchange
|
Since 1927, students and host families all over the world have had their horizons broadened and their lives enriched by the generosity of Rotary's Youth Exchange program. Administered by Rotary clubs, districts and multidistrict groups, the program today involves more than 82 countries and over 8,000 students each year.
The first documented exchanges date back to 1927, when the Rotary Club of Nice, France, initiated exchanges with European students. Exchanges between clubs in California, USA, and Latin American countries began in 1939, and exchange activities spread to the eastern United States in 1958. In 1972, the RI Board of Directors agreed to recommend Youth Exchange to clubs worldwide as a worthwhile international activity that promotes global peace and understanding.
