Once we safely arrived
at our destination we were greeted by friendly Rotarians,
PDG Klaus Hachfeld, and his wife Glenis
from our host District 7910. The next
day of training included learning about the Rotary foundation,
the future vision, and the five avenues of service.
Ambassador Paul Taylor, the keynote
speaker, spoke of spreading peace through diplomacy.
He explained that diplomacy is simply listening to others.The
weekend was a great opportunity to speak with GSE alumni
as well as other outbound GSE teams from the NorthEast
districts. We all learned a lot about Rotary and the
Group Study Exchange program. We all feel very energized
and inspired for our trip, as well as grateful to Rotary
District 7450 and our sponsoring Rotary clubs!!  |
