Youth Exchange News - The first Host Family for our inbound student Guan-Yu Chen coming this August from Taiwan has been secured. Jason Cardwell and Jill Kohler are still seeking two more host families to accomodate his stay with us. Youth Exchange Officer Jason reports he is fluent in English. Jason and Jill have been effective and instrumental in managing our Youth Exchange program in the Club. Thank them for their service! And please circulate this opportunity to your friends and families in the Wayzata School District. Anyone who has hosted can relate what a wonderful experience it can be. It would be wonderful if a Plymouth Rotarian would step up to host!
