Change is afoot in the Rotary Friendship Exchange Committee for District 9930.
The committee has for many years consisted of Gavin Petrie, Ken Collier and Laurel Smith. They have done a sterling job welcoming Rotary groups from districts around the world to D9930 and organising departing Rotary groups of up to 12 folk to destinations in numerous countries.
The Rotary Friendship Exchange programme is a reciprocal one in which districts in turn host and send groups to overseas districts of interest.
