Thank you, Camille, for all your work to open up these opportunities for Rotarians both here and worldwide!
Camille: You just keep coming up with interesting exchange opportunities year after year! Rick and I really enjoyed our experiences in Scotland and Turkey some years back. Thank you for your energy, Emily
