Announcements:
Youth Exchange Host Families Needed! Our Club has committed to send an outbound international youth next school year. Coupled with this commitment, our Club is required to identify and commit to providing 3 suitable host family homes. At this time, we have 1 committed host home and must now confirm the next two host homes. The one committed host home is a Charles City Rotarian member’s home. The host home is not required to be a Rotarian member’s home but must simply provide the required accommodations and meet the needs of the inbound exchange student. Please, at this time, seriously consider being a inbound exchange student host family and connect with Dean Stewart for additional information.
