Rotary Youth Exchange Program

We may have an opportunity to host a student from Austria through the Rotary Youth Exchange program. This would be an exchange that would start in early January 2009 with the 2nd semester of school and conclude some time in the Summer of 2009. The applicant is a 15 year old high school student who seems to be a wonderful girl with good English skills. She attends a language school where she is currently studying English, French, Latin and German. Next year she hopes to add Spanish. She wants to experience the culture here and improve her English language skills. We need to recruit two host families; if you are interested in learning more about being a host family for this girl contact David Beck.
