Dear Rotarians and Friends,
 
March is not only the beginning of Spring but it is also Women's History Month with March 8th being International Women's Day.  Please join me this week at the Golf Club while we hear our Speakers Meryl Glassman, Development Director and Anne Ruggles, Board Member from Dignity Matters. Let's celebrate together these incredible, passionate, and wonderful women in our Club. 
 
Also, I am happy to say that the Children's Business Fair is once again ramping up its engine.  The event itself will be on May 18th.  So don't forget to sign up to Volunteer. This is a great event and we will need all the help we can get!

Children showcase their very own businesses at our one-day market, which is part of the largest entrepreneurship event for kids in North America. Kids develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers at our one-day marketplace. 
 
We all believe that entrepreneurs are heroes and role models for the next generation.

Rotary Youth Exchange Program
The Rotary Club of Weston & Wayland participates in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program for high school students. Two programs are available, and students can apply to either program. All Rotary Youth Exchange programs are run by volunteer Rotarians and comply with all U.S. State Dept. regulations.
 
Short-Term (Family-to-Family) Program – Participating students are matched with a student and family in another country. The U.S. student travels to the host country and stays with the host family for 3-4 weeks, immersing themselves in the host country’s language and culture. Then the U.S. student and their host sibling travel back to the United States and the foreign student stays with their U.S. family for a similar length of time. This exchange generally occurs during the summer. Over 20 countries are available to choose from.
 
Long-Term (Academic Year) Program – Long-term exchange students live with host families while attending high school in one of 40 participating countries for a full academic year. Students become fluent in the local language, build lifelong friendships, and develop an in-depth understanding of the people, traditions, culture, food, and history of their host country -- a truly international education with benefits that last a lifetime.
 
What are you waiting for? A beautiful world awaits!
