May 19, 2020.   Every club eventually must say goodbye to their Rotary Youth Exchange student, and each one is accompanied by poignant feelings and memories.  This story is the most recent, and is likely typical for many.

Dear District Committee,   Our politically correct goodbye to Francesco; one of our great Yakima Rotary inbounds.  As I write this Francesco is probably in the air between Seattle and Minniapolis, then onto Newark International, then Frankurt and then Milan and then 150km to Torino Italy and parents.    Books could be written about what a great inbound Francesco was, and perhaps will be.
