The Club discussed the benefits of exchange anH hosting and sponsoring a Hudson. We discussed family logistics, financial expectations and program rules. His goal is to go to Spain. Currently Hudson is a high school freshman taking Spanish noting the practical value of learning the language in a Spanish speaking country like Spain. His interest was sparked by his family hosting an exchange student two years ago from Spain. The Club is eager to work with Hudson and will consider sponsoring him.
