Host Families for Youth Exchange Needed!
As announced our club will be hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange student beginning in August of this year through June of 2017.
This is one of Rotary's great programs that builds international understanding and helps everyone involved learn about each others country. It is an enriching opportunity for our entire Rotary club and the community of greater Parker. The objective is to build world cooperation and peace.
Host families host the exchange student for about three months each. Host families can be one person, a couple, a couple with small children, or a couple with older children. There is no requirement that a host family have a specific number or make up.
When my former wife and I hosted our Swiss student (with whom I am still corresponding) in 2004-2005 I was president of our club. With careful planning hosting is easily achieveable and very worthwhile.
Please consider helping our club and our student guest have a wonderful visit here.
This student will attend Ponderosa high school and host families should originate from a geographical area convenient to the high school which would include Main Street Parker south to Franktown.
As the Youth Exchange chair for our club I invite, your inquiry about this opportunity. I will be delighted to share the details of being a host family with you.
Please help this student, our club, and Rotary to succeed with this great program.
Thank you, Mike Oldham, meoldham@msn.com, 303-453-9067
