Rotary seeks applications for International Youth Exchange

Rotary International Youth Exchange committees are currently seeking applications for several vacancies in groups going abroad for a few weeks in summer 1986. They are also seeking host families for youngsters from other countries for the same period. Applicants may be from either Rotary or non-Rotary families. Youth Exchanges should be of good character and eager to become a member of an overseas family for a few weeks. Most vacancies are for ages 16 to 18, with a few available age 15, and 19-22. Host families should be prepared to provide a wholesome environment and parental supervision to youngsters from abroad of about the same age, and should have one or more youngsters living in the home at the time of the visit, near the guest’s age. Almost everyone in Rotary IYE has some fluency in English. Rotary Youth Exchange officials recommend such exchanges as the ideal way to get to know another country and its people. It is much less expensive than tourist travel, inasmuch as room and board are provided by the host family in their home. The sending family pays only the air fare, spending money, and a small sum for insurance and pro-Two-vehicle accident A two-vehicle accident, which occurred approximately 9 p.m. Saturday south of Milford, resulted in heavy damage to both vehicles.
