Our international exchange student, Tara Wilkinson, has provided her monthly report to her Counsellor, Clare Ganderton.

Clare reported that Tara recently volunteered at her first Rotary event, which involved serving chilli in the Arctic cold of Grand Rapids.
She has been asked to prepare and deliver a geography presentation on Australia to the Faculty members of the University of Minnesota. Although she is a bit nervous about doing it, she knows that it will be a wonderful experience.
Tara's host sister, Anna, has introduced her to many people and encouraged her to be involved in all sorts of new activities, such as snow sledding and "track", which is the same as our athletics. She is joining the team and said that the training is so tough she believes that she will soon be "Olympics ready".
Tara has had many new experiences including "homecoming" week, a visit to Chicago, watching a National Hockey League game and seeing the State Wrestling Championships in Minneapolis.
She is so busy that she is not homesick and is really enjoying her time in the USA.
