Rotary Clubs Host
Brazilian Group Study Exchange Team
Team at Welcome Dinner in Beaumont on April 9.
 
 “We had a great time in Beaumont and the cities around it!   Not only we saw wonderful things like the Museum at Port Arthur, Shangri-la in Orange, all the team had amazing vocational days! All of us came back with more knowledge in our business area. Loved the multi-club meeting! And the barrier-free for all children Beaumont Rotary Playground Project is fabulous and I will show that in all our clubs in our District, that is for sure!   And all the families that hosted us and those who joined us for the day were so kind and careful with us. We can't thank y'all enough!
