Last Wednesday's Speaker
 
If you were at our meeting last week you saw a very good and interesting speaker.  Sam Dalal came and talked to us about Rotary International's Friendship Exchange program.  The goal of the program is for Rotarians to experience other cultures, advance international understanding & build friendships by staying in homes of Rotarians in another county in a group format. The idea is to reciprocate by hosting another country's Rotarian in your home.  Sam's Rotary background:  Member of Rotary since 1993.  2-time Club president, Burnsville Breakfast Club.  District 5950 Area governor and District Friendship Chair.  Sam has coordinated group trips around the world.  Vocational: Owned a State Farm agency for 31 years, currently in retirement mode employed by Delta Airlines regional carrier SkyWest.  Thanks so much for coming Sam.  We enjoyed our time with you!  Pictured below with Sam (right) is Rotarian Alan Ruvelson.
