NOTICE of NOTE - Pancake Tickets Sales comment this Friday. See schedule on our website, by CLICKING HERE
Rotary Youth Exchange changes lives --for the students who go abroad and for the people who welcome them into their homes.
Here are our two in-bounds from this year, along with two of our three Skaneateles students who will go abroad in August.
In August, Skaneateles will get THREE NEW EXCHANGE STUDENTS through Rotary. Each student needs three families (each family will host 3-4 months). Hosting is a rich experience. Interested in having a new son or daughter for part of next year?

Youth Exchange Student's Reflections
Daniela [Danny] Fadic - our exchange student from Chile, spoke about her year in Skaneateles. Danny arrived in Skaneateles last August on her birthday. Danny thanked her host families for their warm hospitality. Danny's host families took her to Lake Placid. Ottawa, Niagara Falls, DC & Disney World. Danny noted that in the US we celebrate holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas differently than they do in Chile. During our recent Rotary District Conference Danny had the opportunity to visit with other Rotary Exchange Students from 19 countries. For her presentation Danny wore a coat covered with decorative pins. Danny explained that every time she met another exchange student or Rotarian she swapped ins with them. Danny closed by thanking our club for enabling her to spend a year in our great country & in our beautiful welcoming town. Danny responded to several member questions.
Vincent [Vinnie] Lambert - our exchange student from France opened his presentation by exclaiming "this has been the best year of my life!" Vincent was only 15 when he arrived in the US. Vincent confessed to having second thoughts about coming to the US. All of Vincent's initial concerns were quickly swept away by the warm welcome he received in Skaneateles. From the start Vincent fell in love with America's lifestyle & culture. Vincent thanked his 3 host families for their generosity, & for making him feel as if he was part of their families. Vincent joined Danny in thanking our club for making his visit to the US & Skaneateles possible. Vincent said he will always treasure his memories of our beautiful lake & welcoming village.
Karen [Kayo] Price - Speaking on behalf of SCS, Karen Price praised Danny & Vincent for so freely sharing their cultures with our high school students. Karen said Danny & Vincent will be missed.
