Rotary District 6560 – 2008 Group Study Exchange

A 4-Week All-Expenses Paid Professional

Development Opportunity In Another Country

There is an opportunity in 2008 for young professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 to be on a GSE Team to travel outside the United States on a memorable 4-week tour of another Rotary District. This all-expenses paid journey allows the team members to stay with Rotarian families to learn their culture, visit historic and civic centers of several host cities, experience how other professionals in their field practice their professions, and promote goodwill and understanding among people of the world.
