English Short Term Exchange Student Visited July 28 Rotary Meeting

Short-term exchange student Alex Blades is from the east Midlands, England near Cambridge and spoke at the July 28 Tunkhannock Rotary Club Luncheon.  He is sponsored by The Deepings Rotary Club in Lincolnshire. He has graduated from High school and is passionate about English football. He is not a big fan of American football, since he thinks you should use your feet if it is called football. He arrived in the US in July and will return with outbound short-term exchange student Connor Helsel to England on Aug 3, ending his 2.5 week short-term exchange.

 

While on a 3 day visit to New York City, in addition to the usual sightseeing, they went to the 9/11 museum and Alex realized how important it is for Rotary to be trying to achieve peace in the world.
