Friendship Exchange

Rotary Friendship Exchange is Rotary's international exchange program for Rotarians and their families. Friendship Exchange provides participants the opportunity to experience other cultures by staying in the homes of Rotarians in other countries. The program aims to advance international understanding and peace through personal contact across borders while developing interclub relationships for fellowship and service projects.

Fifteen District 9810 Rotarians and partners spent 14 days in Cambridge and Surrey, UK in May -June this year. They were hosted by Rotarians in District 1070 who returned the hospitality they received from our District in 2004.

Friendship Exchange visit to Alaska in 2007

Arrangements have been made for a Friendship Exchnage group from our district to visit Alaska USA during 2007. The timing of this visit will enable this visit to be combined with attendance at the 2007 RI Convention to be held in Salt Lake City USA from 17 to 19 June.

 

Friendship Exchange is a wonderful program for Rotarians to visit another country as a group. If you are interested in being part of a future team, please contact Chairman Daryl Knight by clicking on the email link at the foot of this page:
