GSE Team Visits Newport - Update!


Our District 7730 GSE (Group Study Exchange)  team is heading for Uruguay, while the team from Uruguay is here and visiting many of our clubs. March 28th marks their visit to our Newport Club. This year's exchange is all about agriculture, and the teams are made up of young people that are in these related fields. Veterinarians, biologists, and co-operative workers, are sharing their knowledge about their country's problems and successes.
Next year's GSE teams will focus on the medical profession.
Wow! What an evening! On March 28,our club members were hosts to many guests, including the team from Uruguay, who graciously introduced themselves, after a great meal provided by Tim Turner, the team members each gave a presentation about themselves, their country, their jobs and families. 
Among all our honored guests in attendance were PDG Dr. Bill Walker and his wife, Jolene;  AG John Scibal; and President of Beaufort Ole Town Rotary Club, Bill Kaeser.
The team is traveling to Washington, DC for two days, and then back to their homes in Uruguay on Sunday, April 3.
