Glenda Woods & Julie Lynch were guest speakers at the Rotary Club of Numurkah meeting on Monday 30th November.

Rotary Friendship Exchange is one Rotary program that is fun and filled with fellowship.

Friendship Exchanges allow Rotarians and partners to experience another culture first hand in the homes of Rotarians in another country.

The goal of the program is to advance international understanding, goodwill and peace through person to person contact across national boundaries.

Exchanges between Districts are reciprocal and usually last about 2 weeks.

What does it cost?

RFE's are funded entirely by participants.

Our District has a $250 pp levy for each exchange undertaken.

Participants are responsible for travel costs, venue entrance costs and personal spending.

Hosts are expected to provide housing, meals and sightseeing.

Hosting:

Incoming RFE teams visit 3 to 4 areas of District.

Generally stay 2 to 3 days with each host.

Hosting gives opportunity to experience a different culture and friendship.

Clubs can volunteer to be part of RFE hosting.

District RFE Meetings.

Meetings are held 3 to 4 times per year generally Benalla.

Usually a Sunday with lunch.

Gives all interested the opportunity to participate and get first hand information.
