Our Rotary Club of Akron exchange student, Haruka Yamazaki, arrived Sunday evening August 21st from Japan.  She was greeted with a warm Rotary welcome at Cleveland Hopkins airport (She is pictured in the photo with her welcoming committee).  Haruka will attend her first Rotary meeting Tuesday, August 30th and she looks forward to meeting the Akron Rotarians and interacting with them this year. She is enrolled at Green High School for the school year, and her first host family is our President Mark Krohn and his wife, Lori, and young daughters Alex and Nicole, who live near Green High School at 1416 Pine Wood Way.  Mariya Bloom, Barry Hollis and Dan O’Connell are her Rotary co-counselors during her stay.  Haruka is 16 years old, enjoys acting, and has an older sister and younger brother at home near Nagoya, Japan.  Plan to enrich your life and her experience by contacting Haruka and invite her to spend some time with you and your family! You can contact her by email at spring1995@canvas.ocn.ne.jp or by telephone at (234)294-5047 or (330)690-7467.
