Rotary Exchange Student Program Changes Lives

March 18, 2013 by Tim Ernst 1 Comment

The Springfield Rotary Club welcomed past foreign exchange student Becky Holcomb to speak about her experience of traveling abroad to Belgium for a year when she was sponsored by the Club in the early 1990’s. Her experience, as she shared with the club, was one of the most amazing life changing moments. To this day, Holcomb retains close bonds with her host family abroad. The program also featured an introduction of current outbound exchange student Jennie Lukoff who will also be going to Beligium. Springfield Rotary strives to give foreign exchange opportunities to seniors in our community while also hosting inbound students. The goal is to create peace and understanding and cultural exchange as part of their humanitarian efforts.

Rotarians Welcome Exchange Student

June 8, 2008 by Tim Ernst Leave a Comment

Pictured Left to Right: Springfield Rotary Club President Steve Schagrin and Rotary Youth Exchange Student Nicholas Minkner.
Springfield Rotarians welcomed their 2007-8 foreign exchange student , Nicholas Minkner, for a final visit to their club. Nicholas came from Germany in last August, and has lived with three different host families during his stay. He described to the Rotary Club the many places up and down the east coast he was able to visit, the sports he’s been able to participate in, and the benefits of having had this exciting opportunity. Rotary Youth Exchange provides for students to study abroad for a year, learn of other cultures and expand their views of the world. Minkner returns shortly to Dresden, Germany to friends and family, but the family he made here will always welcome him back. The Rotary family is global after all!
