Congratulations to Wayne McCutcheon and team from D5370 Youth Exchange Committee. An action packed weekend preparing outbound (inbounds, rebounds) Youth Exchange students, their parents and counselors for the exchange in 2011-2012.
RI Vice President Tom Thorfinnson from Minnesota was in attendance and congratulated the committee for their vision and leadership in improving the Youth Exchange Program by incorporating the "B's". Be Assertive - Be Curious,... Tom had an inspiring message about Rotary's core values and how their role as ambassadors for rotary and their country is so important in building a more compassionate and caring world.
Wayne reported the following in response to the appeal for relief for Japan...
"At last night's banquet the students put out a challenge to raise more funds and we collected $3,200" Well done and thank you!
Tom also addressed approximately 60 Rotarians and guests at a dinner organized by John Vrolick from Sherwood Park and President, Pauline Perrault from Edmonton South. Mayor of Strathcona County and Rotarian Linda Osinchuk were in attendance and welcomed us to the new Sherwood Park Library/Art Gallery and Offices. Spectacular.
Thanks to everyone for a great event.
