Thank you to all who have Sponsored, and/or bought tickets to the 2016 Parker State of the Town and Mayor's Black Tie and Boots Gala.

 

Please consider buying any tickets that you need for the State of the Town ASAP.  We only have 16 left as of this morning.  We would really like to have all members of our Rotary Club of Parker and their guests attend.

 

Once we sell out we will create a wait list and award tickets as they come available through sponsors telling us they can not use all their seats.  The first 40 donated seats will be for High School Students from all 5 High Schools in Parker and the RCC.  As we get more seats turned in we will be able to sell them to those on our wait list.

 

To avoid the hassle of the Wait list, I recommend buying NOW!  TO DAY if Possible.  Go to www.parkerrotary.org to purchase or call me or Bill Shriver.

 

It will be a great event and your participation is what will make it the best it can be!!

Next August our club will host a young man from Germany as a Rotary Exchange Student. Our club has a proud tradition of hosting Youth Exchange and for many years hosted two students each year.

 

Youth Exchange began in Rotary in the 1920ties with limited exchanges of students between Scandinavian and U.S. clubs. The exchanges grew in popularity until 1972 when RI adopted the program world wide. Today more than 8000 Youth Exchange students travel abroad each year to live and study in about 80 countries. You can read more about this activity on the District and R.I. web sites.

 

This program enriches the sponsoring club in numerous ways, has a significant impact on the community and school attended by the student. One of the principle purposes of the program is to build world understanding a peace.

 

Please consider volunteering to host this student for approximately three months in your home. You do not have to have a student in your home to host. We need three host families to cover the span from August through the following May when the student will return home. In addition all members of the club will be asked to host this student for outings throughout the year so that he can learn about our culture. Our student will be asked to regularly attend our club meetings to get to know our members, report on his country, and share in club activities.

 

In 2004-2005 Carrie and I, along with two other families, hosted Nicole Stoop from Switzerland. We cherished the experience. I continue to correspond with Nicole who now has a masters in marketing with a job in New York. She has returned to Parker for a visit on several occasions and plans to return again in the near future.

 

Please let me know if your interested and I will share a complete list of the responsibilities involved with a host family.

 

Thank you. Mike Oldham
