Rotary Club seeks team for exchange

The purpose is to promote international understanding and good will.
WARREN -- Rotary Clubs in District 6650, which encompasses mid-northeastern Ohio, are seeking four outstanding professionals to visit Czech Republic and Slovak Republic from May 10 to June 7, 2005, as part of the Group Study Exchange program of The Rotary Foundation.
Through the program, teams of professionals exchange visits between countries. In four weeks, team members share knowledge of their own country and experience the customs, vocations and lifestyles of another.
The purpose of a group-study exchange is to promote international understanding and good will. While abroad, team members stay in Rotarians' homes and have the opportunity to meet professional counterparts.
They also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their home country.
The Rotary Foundation provides a round-trip air ticket, and local Rotarians in the host country provide meals, lodgings and group travel in their district. Team members pay for personal and incidental expenses.
People interested in applying should be employed full-time in a recognized business or profession. Young professionals ages 25 to 40 are encouraged to apply. Applicants must live or be employed in Rotary District 6650, mid-northern Ohio.
For an application, contact Fred Miller at (330) 393-7184 or fredpat291@earthlink.net, by Aug. 31.
