Preparations



Ed Kaminski, in the yellow shirt in the center of the group picture, is coordinating the exchange of the teams between District 6290 and Brazil. He also works with the Rotary exchange students, and managed to bring all of the students from Brazil to several of our GSE meetings. The Brazilian students were invaluable in helping our team translate into Portuguese our brochure, the captions on our PowerPoint presentation, and the video greeting from our District Governor. In the photo, upper right, Tammy helps Chip with his presentation.


The Group Study Exchange Team from Rotary District 6290, West Michigan and Western Ontario, has been preparing for several months for their exchange visit to Rotary District 4500, North East Brazil. The team includes Matthew Pierle from Petosky, Ginny Ryan, Team Leader from Spring Lake, Emily Rose from Spring Lake, Leslie Anderson from Spring Lake, and Chip VanderWeir from Muskegon
