Update from James Glass via Jack McAllister
District 6740 has 4 Youth Exchange Students scheduled for our district this this coming 2017 – 2018 school year.
We are urgently looking for host families. If you or someone you know may be interested in hosting a student (remember, they do not have to be Rotarians), then please let me know as soon as possible as we must place these students in the next few weeks. My email is jglass@amwus.com and cell is 606.794.6187. Or BJ McClure at bjmcclure@yahoo.com .
Believe me when I say that you will receive more out of an exchange than the student!
