Rotary members from District 6490, which includes 53 clubs in
central and east-central Illinois, have announced that they will be
sending a team led by a Rotarian with four outstanding professionals
to visit District 1800 in north-central Germany. The team will
depart in late May 2012 and return in late June as part of the Group
Study Exchange program of the Rotary Foundation of Rotary
International.
Through the program, teams of young professionals from two
different countries exchange visits. For four weeks, team members
experience the way of life, customs and vocational practices of
another country, while sharing information about their home country.
The purpose of the Group Study Exchange program is to promote
international understanding and good will through personal
connections. While abroad, team members stay in Rotarians' homes and
have the opportunity to meet their professional counterparts. They
also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their
home country.
The Rotary Foundation pays for round-trip airfare, and Rotary
members in the host country provide meals, lodging and group travel
in their district. Team members pay only for personal and incidental
expenses.
Young adults between the ages of 25 and 40 who are interested in
applying should be employed full time in a business or profession
and at least two years in their current occupation. Applicants must
live or be employed in Rotary District 6490, which includes the
east-central Illinois counties of Bond, Champaign, Christian, Clark,
Coles, Crawford, Cumberland, DeWitt, Douglas, Edgar, Effingham,
Fayette, Ford, Iroquois, Jasper, Livingston, Logan, Macon, McLean,
Montgomery, Moultrie, Piatt, Shelby, Vermilion and Woodford. They
must be in good health to travel and able to obtain a passport.
For an application, contact Kevin Miller, 1386 E. 1900th Ave.,
Teutopolis, IL 62467; 217-924-4155; or
