Susan Nava traveled to Brazil on a Rotary Youth Exchange trip. Staying with multiple host families, she attended school and learned a lot about the cultural differences and similarities. Susan was impacted immensely by this trip and was grateful for the opportunity to come back and share her experiences with all of us! Susan also attended the Rotary International Conference where she learned more about Rotary's mission and goals to ending polio. We were so excited to see all of her awesome photos as well as the Rotary jacket full of pins from around the world! Her presentation was titled "Climbing To The Top."
Our Speaker Susan Nava sharing her experiences through Rotary Youth Exchange.
A very special thanks to Mari Barnes and Mike Babian for their help with this week's bulletin!
