Rotary Club seeks professionals for Denmark exchange

Rotary Club members of Newton and Rotary District 5690 are seeking four outstanding professionals to visit Denmark between Aug. 20 and Sept. 18, 2010, as part of the Group Study Exchange program of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. Through the program, teams of young professionals from two countries exchange visits. For four weeks, team members experience the way of life, customs and vocational practices of another country, while sharing information about their homeland. The purpose of the program is to promote international understanding and goodwill through personal connection. Team members stay in Rotarians’ homes and have the opportunity to meet their professional counterparts. They also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their home country. The Rotary Foundation pays for round-trip airfare, and Rotary club members in the host country provide meals, lodging, and group travel in their district. Team members pay for personal and incidental expenses. Young adults between the ages of 25 and 40 who are interested in applying should be employed full-time in a business or profession. Applicants must live in or be employed in Rotary District 5690. For an application or additional information, contact Group Study Exchange committee member Steve Johnson at CornerStone Law at 282-7300. Applications are due Feb. 28. Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders who provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Loading commenting interface. Source;thekansan.com/
