| What |
Berkeley International House scholars visit
Redding hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Redding and Anderson |
| Why |
One of the main goals of Rotary is to improve
international relationships. This visit serves as a chance for
international scholars to see some of rural America, meet American
families, and generally have a good time doing it. |
| Rotarians interested
in Hosting |
Just about anyone who has
hosted a visiting scholar in their home will tell you it is very worthwhile.
If you are interested in hosting a scholar, please call Dave Regnell at
222-0202 (work) or 246-4225(home).
