RYE - Welcome & Bon Voyage
Joint Club Potluck Dinner

Last week, we were introduced to our new Exchange Student from Spain - Lucia. Our club co-sponsors students with East/West, and we are working hard to strengthen that partnership. This year, they are hosting the welcome (and Bon Voyage to our outbound Trent) party, and we are hosting the farewell. 

It is not only important, but so much fun to get to know our students and find ways as a club and as individuals to enhance their experience. We can start right away by coming to the party on Saturday evening and helping them feel our love and support. Let's treat the East/West party like it is in our backyard and blow them away with how many of us show up to launch this Exchange year!

Please RSVP directly to Julie Montgomery (listed on the attached flyer) and let's show up in force to welcome Lucia and send Trent off to Taiwan.

Power equipment is sourced and transferred from Germany via our partners in the Rotary Club of Rosenheim-Innstadt, who with our Ukrainian partners ensure the direct 1,200-mile transport of all supplies to Cherkasy.

As we approach winter our Ukrainian Rotary partners have prioritized two areas for our continued support:

• $25,000 for children’s trauma relief

• $50,000 for emergency power equipment for refugee and medical centers.

Please join us in helping the people of Ukraine by donating to this special fund, exclusively used for this purpose.
