Louise Keogh introduced our exchange students, Toni and Ben, to give their reports on their life at home. Both students gave excellent reports after some hiccups with Ben's powerpoint presentation. A bit of running around by Lou and some assistance from Delia resulted in a very good report. Antonia Ederer - Exchange student from Austria gave a very in depth presentation about her family and home and the Rotary club that she comes from. Toni is 16 years old and is one of 7 children (ages 31, 29, 27, 25, 18, 13). She told us many interesting facts about Austria, the state of Styria, the Capital City of Graz and her home town of Weiz that has a population of 11,000 with an Industrial infrastructure surrounded by agriculture. Toni also told us about her local Rotary club and some of the projects they have been involved in. Ben Pfeil – Exchange student from Germany. Ben comes from Darmstadt which is near Frankfurt. He also shared information about his family and friends in Germany. Ben is very fond of cats and likes to play basketball. His passion is photography and is very talented in this field. Germany has many bordering countries including France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Poland Czech Union, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark and Belgium. The temperature range in Germany is -10 to 30 and it often snows. Ben showed us many photos of the cities, towns and country side. While on exchange he is looking forward to experiencing the Australian culture, making friends and seeing a kangaroo and koala. Toni made a presentation to Trevor from her Rotary club. Trevor thanked Toni and Ben for their presentations and our Rotaract visitors for joining us tonight and thanked everyone for coming out on such a wet and wild night.
