Our club's Global Grant Scholar, Kailee Ross, has arrived in Dundee, Scotland, and will commence studies at the University of Dundee. She was awarded the $40,000 scholarship early this year by the Rotary Foundation.
Her host club is Dundee Claverhouse and they have welcomed Kailee with open arms. Here's a portion of a WhatsApp message she received in July --
Hi Kailee,
Welcome to Dundee when the time comes! We are all looking forward to meeting you and helping you to settle in to your new home.
I am Ivor Morton, a fellow Rotarian in the Rotary Club of Claverhouse and friend of Iain Ross. I will be picking you up from Edinburgh Airport at 9.35am on Saturday, 17th August and driving you over to Dundee, a journey of just over one and a quarter hours.

What a wonderful welcome for Kailee and it gets even better. Here's a message she sent to me --
Dennis. I have been in Scotland for three days now and I absolutely LOVE it. The rotary foundation is so welcoming, they’ve helped me get settled in and showed me around the city. I feel so welcome. I’m excited to attend my first rotary meeting tomorrow! I can’t thank you enough for helping me along with this process. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.
The Claverhouse Rotary Club meets in the Queen's Hotel which is just a ten minute walk from campus. She's been to two meetings now -- here are some pictures from the meeting on Tuesday the 27th. All three in the last photo have the Ross surname -- good Scots.
