Attention all Rotarians-
Posted by Craig Ferre
It is very important that we all take a couple of minutes and register with the district so we can be compliant with R.I. rules regarding our Youth/Student Exchange program.
Anyone who will be hosting any activities with the students must register. This means Rotarians and their spouses and any kids over the age of 18 who will be joining you in the hosting activities.
It is super simple - it literally took me less than two minutes to do - and painless too. Just follow the instructions below

Wow, how easy was that???? We really want everyone in the club to do this.
I know, I know. We've been doing our student exchange program for some 26 years and never had a problem, but this is a new age we live in and the main thing is to protect the kids and the integrity of the program. By registering it puts the students, the parents, and our club members mind at ease knowing we've followed the rules. And
by being R.I. compliant we can reap the benefits of R.I. insurance that would cover our program.
So please do this simple task so we can continue to change kids lives with these enriching exchange experiences.
As a reminder - We have the two sisters coming from Australia on Dec. 28th. We'll need people for the welcome at the airport and some help with the Welcome Party too. Sign ups for day hosting to be posted soon.
