Do you have high school students in your family who would be great candidates for a summer exchange program to Europe? Then let Rotarian Dr. Diane Wallach know. She is coordinating the long-standing exchange program the Rotary Club of Norfolk has with the Rotary Club of Tiel in The Netherlands?
The summer youth exchange between our two clubs dates back at least 40 years. Typically one year we send several students and then host Dutch students the following year. This summer was our year to host, but the Dutch club did not have teens available so our exchange program took a vacation. Good news: Tiel Rotarians are ready to host our teens in 2018. The exchange typically is in July for about three weeks. Students are responsible for the air fare and incidental expenses. But, otherwise, expenses are covered by the Tiel Club. Students will stay with host families and will enjoy being treated like VIPs.
Please let Diane know by Saturday, September 23 if you have a child, grandchild, niece, nephew or other relative interested in learning about the exchange. There will be a formal application. Email Diane at drwallach@seldenoptometry.com or call her at 757-570-6368.
