The Team!

It is hard to believe that in two months we will be leaving for Bolivia. It wasn't so long ago that we were all applying for the limited slots available for opportunities to Bolivia or Tasmania. I never knew that such opportunities existed or what Rotary Clubs were until this year. As luck would have it, The Rotary Club President for my area club is the Superintendent of my school district. She gave a wonderful presentation at the beginning of the school year and encouraged every eligible teacher to apply for the exchange.
It sounded too good to be true but, I went home and talked it over with my wife. She agreed that it would be a great opportunity. I applied, interviewed and I feel very fortunate to have been selected as a member of the team. Our team has been meeting since November and we have been busy preparing for our trip. We look forward to sharing it with you all soon.
