We really need a Rotary Exchange Student 1st host family in the Galena or Damonte Ranch High School zone.  We can't actually enroll the student or even let them come over until we have a real address.  Don't miss this opportunity to learn about another culture, and see ours through their eyes.  Anyone who has hosted will tell you it is well worth it!!!   Contact Dan with any ideas or to volunteer!!
