Audrey Carroll, a Rotary Exchange alum (Germany 2018-2019), was the recipient of the Owen Norris Interact Scholarship for her involvement and dedication to the Interact Club at Stow Munroe-Falls High School. She is a member of the Class of 2020 and was recognized with the hope that her “ experience in the Interact Club of Stow will encourage her to continue her volunteer service to others in the community and the world.” It should be noted that Audrey is the connection to the global grant that we are pursuing with the Rotary Club in Ecuador. Her year in Germany was shared with the daughter of president to the Portoviejo Club. Because of the earthquake there 4 years ago the city is poorly equipped to deal with Covid-19. Audrey shared the request for global grant with us. Already a woman of action! She will attend Ohio State University in the fall and intends to major in International Affairs.
Lydia Olin-Hitt, sponsored by our club, was accepted as a Rotary Exchange student to France this year. Although there is no long-term exchange because of the Covid-19 situation, there is the possibility that she could do a half year starting in January. If that opportunity continues, she will leave in January. We will keep you posted.
