Dear Rotarians of District 5520,

I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Our district has the opportunity to reactivate the Friendship Exchange program, and we'll be hosting a Rotary group from Ontario, Canada.


As part of this exchange, our District-5520 will be traveling to Ontario from August 10th to the 24th. Ontario's district includes captivating cities like Niagara Falls, Buffalo, and Toronto, offering a plethora of exciting places to explore.


The Canadian delegation will be visiting our district from October 19th to November 2nd, with their visit spanning two weeks.

We need volunteers to host and travel to Canada. Initially, we're reaching out to those interested in joining the trip to Canada in August. We're looking for 6 to 10 Rotarians, whether singles or couples, to participate.


Additionally, we're seeking volunteers interested in hosting our Canadian guests for three nights in three different cities within our district.


This invitation is extended to all Rotarians of our district. If you're interested in participating or getting more information, please reply to this message.



Thank you for considering this opportunity.

Warm regards, 

 

Fernando Lopez
