September 19th

Hey Rotaracters,
Here are the meeting minutes for the first official meeting of the 2007/2008 school year.

-Sarah Fazekas, last year's President, spoke to the club about study abroad opportunities and her experience abroad. She explained the interview process, and where to get more information. (www.rotary.org) She also went over the other opportunities for different age groups and in different regions, such as the Youth Exchange, RYLA, and the Friendship Exchange. Sarah shared a bit of culture by bringing in food and tea from Argentina, where she studied.

-Bryan Antalek, the current President, wanted to share information and gauge interest in volunteer opportunities.
