Our exchange preparations are moving along very well. Our team to visit District 9830 in Tasmania has been chosen they are;
Team Leader: Juliana Baxter
Juliana belongs to the Rotary club of Invercargill North, is married and is currently the manager of Transport World in Invercargill.
Team:
Lis Rietveld: Consultant for the Diary industry and works on own Diary farm
Sven Thelning: Farm manager on a Dairy Farm plus Health and Safety.
Andrew Jopp: Owner/ manager of sheep farm
Louise Keuresa: Sales manager Bill Richardson Transport World Invercargill
Angela Juergensen: Academic Quality Assurance Coordinator & Adventure Tourism Management tutor
I'm sure they will have a fantastic time in Tasmania when the go in March next year. The Tasmanian team has also been selected and we are waiting on more details so as we can then prepare an itinerary for them.
We have had some clubs express an interest in hosting this team in April next year so once we know the makeup of the team I will be contacting these clubs and others so we can start preparing an interesting and enjoyable trip to our wonderful District.
If anyone has any ideas or can arrange visits to any area or workplace that would be of interest in the fields of Tourism and agriculture please let me know.
