Applications for these Rotary Exchanges are only open to registered Rotarians and their partners and single Rotarians. Each of the Exchange teams will therefore consist of a combination of couples and singles to a maximum of 12 people. Interested members should complete an application and send it to me by regular mail along with the required cheque (see below).

 

All outbound team members must be physically capable of about two weeks of intensive touring and travel. You are also expected to represent your Rotary Club, District 5550 and Rotary International as ambassadors. Of course team members should be genial and considerate in sharing a fellow Rotarian’s home and hospitality.

 

The three teams will be made up on a “first who applied basis”.

 

All applications must include a cheque for $200.00 (singles $100) that will be non-refundable except for health or medical reasons. Cheques should be made payable to the Rotary Club of Saskatoon. They will be held until a team has been selected. These funds will be used for expenses pertaining to the Friendship Exchange program.

 

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS HAS BEEN SET FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21.
