On July 17, GSE team leader Emily Francona and GSE team member Melissa Weinblatt presented a slide show and trip report to the Rotary Club of Port Orford. The Port Orford club is the home club of the team leader and was the sponsoring club for Port Orford resident Melissa.
Melissa explained her portions of the vocational exchange and the opportunities afforded her through this program paid for by The Rotary Foundation (TRF) - all those contributions we make over the years. Although they had fun and did get to visit some tourist sites - including the world-famous Iguazu Falls - this was not a vacation. Long days and numerous evening Rotary meetings - see photo above....
Melissa's experiences were humorous and moving - everyone favorite is "the tractor story."
For the Port Orford club, it was money well spent - meet the newest (and youngest) Port Orford Rotarian - Melissa Weinblatt.

Hooray for Port Orford for not only recognizing an amazing person to represent us on the GSE team, but quickly assimilating her into Rotary!! This is a success story many times over!
