Rotary Friendship Exchange

 

We all know that Rotary International is a preeminent world-wide organization with myriad opportunities for service and fellowship in a plethora of environments.  One way to take advantage of these various opportunities I’d like to highlight in this column is the Rotary Friendship Exchange (RFE) Program

 

Recently, our District 7910 became involved with the RFE program.  RFE is an international exchange program for Rotary members and friends that allows participants to take turns hosting one another in their homes and clubs.  Participants may travel as individuals, couples, families, or groups, and may be Rotary members or not.

 

We already have an opportunity for two possible exchanges in the next couple of years.  The Rotary Club of Helsingborg, Sweden has approached about visiting our district in the Spring of 2020 with members from our district visiting Sweden in fall of 2020.
