2017 Friendship Exchange Opportunity to District 9790 Victoria

Members are invited to register their interest for a Rotary Friendship Exchange with a difference in 2017. This year we are embarking on an Exchange within Australia, with a planned Exchange to occur with District 9790, which is located to the north-east of Melbourne and also takes in clubs within south west New South Wales including Albury, Holbrook and Deniliquin.

 

The Exchange is currently programmed to occur with hosting by our District 9640 in the July/August 2017 with a visit to District 9790 in September/October. (Might even be able coincide with the AFL Grand Final.) The final planning for this Exchange will depend upon the makeup of the Team and the Host Clubs. The Exchange is anticipated to be of 14 day duration in both Districts.

 

We are looking at a team of up to 10/12 participants and if this Exchange is of interest, I would love to hear from you. If you are unable to make the trip to District 9790 but your Club is interested in Hosting and showcasing your part of our District, I would also appreciate hearing from you. These types of Rotary activities are a great way of forging new Friendships and building relationships with other Rotarians.

 

This promises to be a great Exchange as the members of the Clubs in District 9790 are looking forward to a northern sojourn to escape the vagaries of the Victorian weather. Members of District 9640 may wish to explore areas such as Euroa, Myrtleford and Shepparton on their visit to District 9790.

 

Please register your interest by email to Neil Baldwin at nandcbaldwin@gmail.com by Friday 23 September 2016, for either or both Club Hosting and a participant on the Friendship Team.

 

Yours in Rotary Friendship
