Welcome to Michel Fahrland Rotary

I am a 16 year old Rotary German foreign exchange student. The YMCA gave me a free membership while I am here. I appreciated the membership because I was able to meet many new people, work out and was able to improve my swimming skills while I prepared for high school swimming. Because of their generosity, I want to give back to the YMCA.
