Youth Exchange Update
Our club is taking part in a short term exchange. District 9800 only supports long term exchanges, but Gemma who lives in Newport applied to District 9790 to go on a short term exchange. As she lives so close to us we agreed to be her sponsor club.
Short term exchange is a Family to Family exchange where the host family organises the school and provides accomodation for three months. Gemma will go to the Czech Republic in late October. Marketa from the Czech Republic will arrive in Melbourne for her exchange in June and will attend Albert Park College. We will also host a long term exchange student. In conjunction with the Flemington Kensington Rotary Clubs. Her name is Lenka who is from the Czech Republic.

Lenka and Marketa will be here at the same time July to September. We are still looking for host families for Lenka so if you or a family member are able to help out please let Maria or Emanuel know. Our outgoing student Eloise is also in the Czech Republic - that makes 4 students either from or going to the Czech Republic making a very strong connection.
