This morning we talked about about the Art Johnson Rock Falls Rotary Youth Exchange Program with Bob Sondgeroth. Art was very active in the youth exchange program and after his passing the club decided to name the program after him.
We have our first outbound student who has been approved and is now fundraising for her 11 month exchange that will start in July of this year.
Kimzey Spreeman, our last outbound who went to Malaysia and had to return early due to COVID restrictions on travel that were starting to be imposed. Kinzey is now a junior in college and home on break.
Skip Lee, the former mayor, will also be joining us. Skip and his wife were host parents for Rotary many times and his daughter was an outbound student.
Tom Myers, our current club youth exchange officer, will join us. Tom's daughter was an outbound and their family has hosted inbound students.
