D9680 GSE Team to Michigan in 2008

The first blog to introduce you to the Group Study Exchange Team from Rotary District 9680 in northern Sydney and the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, travelling to Michigan, Rotary District 6310, in April 2008. The Team comprises Ian Faulks as the team leader, and Camille Smith, Katrinna Madden, Richard Hanly, Madeleine Maguire, and David Owens, as members. It is about three months to departure, and the organisation of the study tour is well underway. A comprehensive list containing biographies, background information, current interests and requests for vocational, cultural and social experiences has been compiled for each team member and forwarded to the District 6310 GSE Committee. We are now working on a range of presentations to reflect District 9680, our sponsoring Rotary clubs, and our personal and vocational achievements, as well as the more mundane (but equally important) tasks of uniforms, fundraising, club liaison, etc..
