The summer exchange is a one-to-one exchange. Our students' families agree to host an inbound student from another country for 3-4 weeks. Likewise, the foreign students' families agree to host our outbound students. This program is designed to create ambassadors for all countries in an effort to develop goodwill and better understandings between those countries. These young people really do a great job in that regard. Participating countries can include Holland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, Austria, France, Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden. The year-long exchange has other country selections as well. If you know a student who might be interested in a particular country, let us know. We'll see what we can do. Rotarian children and grandchildren can participate in this program. Applications are available on the Rotary.org website, and are accepted by clubs in the fall. Currently, our district sends out about 10 students per year. We would like to send out 30. So if you have an interest, contact Katherine Michaud, Gail Ryder, or Stu Vander Hoek for more information. Community Grant at Work Following is a note from Doreen Marchione, Exexuctive Director of the Adelle Maxwell Child Development Center, an organization supported by the BRC with a Community Grant: Dear Rotarians:
I'm pleased to inform you that we have accomplished the renovations at the Adelle Maxwell Child Development Center in Bellevue which the Bellevue Rotary Community Grants supported with a grant of $1,700.
These funds were used toward the renovation of one toddler classroom and two pre-school classroom bathroom floors at the center. The center serves children ages four weeks to eight years of age from homeless and low-income families in east King county.
As we noted in our application, this center serves approximately 100 children each year and operates five days a week, 12 moths a year from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
If you or others with the Bellevue Rotary would like to tour the center, we would be delighted to make those arrangements. If you have any questions about this project, which is now completed, or would like to tour, please contact our grants manager, Diane Ellis, at 4250883-4504 or dianee@hope-link.org. Thank you again for your partnership on this project.
Sincerely, Doreen Marchione Executive Director

In response, Lisa reminded the Club that she was also the recipient of a $1000 Club scholarship 20 years ago, which enabled her to begin Bellevue Community College. She announced she would be setting up a scholarship program at Sammamish High School as a result of the Club’s charitable gift. Lisa later graduated from college, joined the Bellevue Police Department, and has served in a wide variety of assignments, including motorcycles, School Resource Officer, and Hostage/Rescue Team, and she was most recently promoted to patrol lieutenant. In addition, Lisa is a lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard and was discharged from active duty following a call-up two years ago. Next Spring's Group Study Exchange Charming Bavaria. The Black Forest and the Bohemian Forest. The Bavarian Alps. The cities of Augsburg and Munich. Our district will be sending five people — one Rotarian and four young non-Rotarian business people — there next May (2006) for a month. Group Study Exchange has been a central part of our district’s outreach for many years. Almost every district in the world participates. We’ve had exchanges with France, East Africa, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, and many other countries. Applications for Team Leader for the Bavarian GSE must be submitted by 15 September.

Rob Rose Published in Nepal I was elated to receive this email below from and the link to the article that I wrote. Having it printed in a Nepali publication was a dream of mine that has come true! I feel very lucky to have family, friends and supporters like you all who have helped make it all happen. From: Tilak Subject: Greetings from Nepal! Dear Rose,
http://www.kantipuronline.com/kolnews.php?&nid=48227 Following its publication, we have received overwhelming response from readers and researchers. Margaret Jeffery, a volunteer from the UK and currently with the Nepal Disabled Human Rights Centre, asked if they could translate it into Nepali so as to publish it in Nepali. Since we reserve the copyright, we have already given them the consent. Likewise, a friend of one of my colleagues is currently working on Masters thesis on disabled children. Hence, the person may contact you. By the way, may I know where you stay in the United States. I am coming to NY and will be there from Sept 10 to Dec 10. During this period, I will be reporting the United Nations General Assembly from the UN Headquarters. Do keep in touch. |
