Youth Exchange: We have one host family for a foreign exchange student from France for the school year 2009-2010 and need one or two more. The student’s name is Pauline Vidal, and she is 16 years old. In addition to French she speaks English and Spanish and she is studying Russian. She plays the saxophone and has many other interests including drama, photography, reading, and art history. Host families do not have to be Rotarians but should live in Shawnee Heights school district or be able to transport Pauline to school there. The commitment would be for a 3 – 5 month period, depending on how many host families we can recruit. For more information see David Beck.
