Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) Students - Melanie and Amelia
 
A big thank you to Club member Vinny Sabe for putting his fine tailoring skills to work on the travel blazer of our RYE Student Melanie. It truly is an impressive result and will be on full display in Rotorua at the District Conference, and on her return to Denmark in the middle of June – just 2 months away!
 
 
 
Jim Bradley is Counsellor for our outbound RYE student - Amelia Winders.  Jim read a number of the points from Amelia's latest letter updating us on her RYE experience.  A copy of Amelia's letter will be sent by a separate email.
