Another Year Over

Remember when we were kids.  This time of year was always magical as we looked forward to summer vacation and NO MORE SCHOOL!.  As adults, this time of year can be sad and it can be happy.  It's usually happy because we can look forward to our annual vacation during the next few months.  Perhaps your workplace has interim staff to cover for vacations.  This can be a rewarding time as we get to meet new people.

For Rotarians, it can be a sad time as this time of year marks the end of the Rotary Exchange student's time with us.  This year was no exception.  Christoph returned home to Solothurn, Switzerland on Wednesday and as I write this, Henna has just landed in Turenki, Finland.  Both students were model exchange students, bringing out the best of the RYE program.

At the end of last week,  they attended the prom for the graduating students of Tantramar Regional High School.  Here they are pictured at the Rotary bridge on Mount Allison University's campus prior to the event.  By all accounts, the friends they made while at TRHS will miss them a lot.
