Rob Yant, Director of Public Safety and member of the Marshall Noon Rotary Club will lead the exchange. Non-Rotarian Team Members include Brian Eclov a Radio News Director from Brookings; Elsa Grant an X-Ray Technician from Lead; Sarah Deters Richardson a Museum Curatorial/Education Assistant from Vermillion; and Zane Hamiel an Insurance Agent from Winner.

Rotary International underwrites the majority of trip expenses. The purpose of the Rotary Group Study Exchange Program is to promote international understanding, study the host country’s institutions and ways of life, observe their own professions as practiced abroad and develop personal and professional relationships. Rotary districts in different countries are paired to send and receive groups on an annual basis. The next GSE scheduled for 2006-2007 is with Rotary District 3700 in Daegu, South Korea. To find out more contact Sue Peters, GSE Chairperson, 507-829-6917 or email suep@iw.net. |
