AND our Guest Speakers - Chris & Brooke.
Darrell spoke about Youth Exchange and now we need to get to work. We have an outbound student from Anmore going to Brazil and now as a Club we need to accept and inbound and looks like either Spain or Brazil. We have had many exchange students in the past, but none for about 10 years. Please could everyone get a Police Check so that you may take this young person out to a game, movie, dinner whatever you choose. We will need host families as well. This student will be going to Heritage Woods and would be with you for 3 months only.
Darrell will set up a committee to help facilitate this.
