We are planning a Rotary Friendship Exchange between District 9700 and District 9940, New Zealand (Lower half of the North Island).
There are two opportunities for you and your Club to participate:
 
Opportunity 1 – for Rotary Clubs
We are looking for 4 Rotary Clubs to host the inbound team in September 2018 – to share your home and to show them real Aussie hospitality.  With our District offering a diverse range of experiences – from brilliant seasonal changes and colours, fabulous food and wine, magnificent landscapes and a rich cultural heritage – we have the chance to show off the best our cities have to offer.  This is a great opportunity to have International Rotarians in your midst for three or four days and in the course of this you will make great friends.
 
Opportunity 2 – for Rotarians and Partners
The plan is for D9700 Rotarians and partners to go “across the ditch” in early 2019 (probably February).  The exchange groups are typically 10-12 people and we are looking for either single Rotarians or a Rotarian with partner.  This will be an ‘on the go’ vacation so be prepared for 14 days filled with adventure, friendship and new experiences.
 
WHAT TO DO NOW 
To learn more or to take advantage of one, or both, of these exciting opportunities, please contact Team Leader Debbie Schache on jdschache@gmail.com
We look forward to providing lasting memories and experiences with our global Rotary families!
