The Rotary Club of Summit County is seeking host families for the 2023-24 academic year.
Our club will be sponsoring two outbound Summit High School students, going to spend one of the best years of their lives in Sweden and Finland. In turn, we will host two foreign students who will live in our wonderful community and attend SHS next year. Each student will stay with three Summit County families, so each host family has a student live with them for three months. It is a fun, educational, eye-opening way to bring the world together and make international connections.
Please consider participating in this life-changing opportunity and youth service by hosting an international student. Contact Youth Exchange Chair Kim Nearpass-Pollack at drknearpass@yahoo.com if you are interested or have questions. She will be happy to provide detailed information.
You can also visit the Rocky Mountain Rotary Youth Exchange website here.
Cindy L. and Sandy M. highly recommend that you watch the film "Following the Ninth: In the Footsteps of Beethoven's Final Symphony" using this streaming link: https://youtu.be/EhZODfxCj6Q
This is a 2013 documentary that follows Beethoven's 9th Symphony to China, Chile, Germany and Japan. Sandy and Cindy saw it last week at the Breck Eclipse Theater (thank you NRO!) and found it very moving, educational and still of our time. You can read about it in the NY Times or NPR as well as other news sites. Kerry Candaele, the director, provided the streaming link for us to pass along to anyone who might be interested. It's about 70 minutes, have your tissues close at hand, there is lots to discuss after you watch it.
And feel free to pass it along to others -- Perhaps his latest film "Love & Justice" will be available in our area sometime soon.
The team processed 67.4 pounds of plastic this week.
Please bring us DRY plastic! If the plastic you drop off at our Rotary meetings is wet, it will go into the trash as the Trex requirements are clean, dry plastic without tape or labels.
