Staff Reports
The Minden Rotary Club is seeking four professionals to visit Italy in May 2009 as part of the Group Study Exchange program of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.
Teams from different countries exchange visits for four to six weeks to experience the way of life, customs and vocational practices of another country, while sharing information about their homeland.
The purpose of the Group Study Exchange program is to promote international understanding and goodwill through personal connection. While abroad, team members stay in Rotarians' homes and have the opportunity to meet their professional counterparts. They also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their home country.
The Rotary Foundation pays for round-trip airfare and Rotary club members in the host country provide meals, lodging and group travel in their district. Team members pay for personal and incidental expenses.
Young adults between the ages of 25 and 40 interested in applying should be employed full-time in a business or profession. Applicants must live or be employed in Rotary District 5190, which includes northeastern California and northern Nevada.
For applications, contact Scott Schmitt at (530) 263-1273 or Anita Daniels at (530) 913-8953. Applications are due by July 31.
Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders who provide humanitarian service and help to build goodwill and peace in the world.
