Good News from Chile

Dear Rotarians,

We have some good news from Chile.  The town of Talca is listed as one hard hit by the recent earthquake.  A few years back we had an exchange student from Talca, Chile who attended Firestone. 

I received word today from Jorge Fuentes that he is fine and his family members are fine as well. Jorge is one of our exchange students with whom I have been able to maintain some contact via Facebook.

One of the best parts of the exchange program is developing the long term relationships.  I know others in the club maintain contact with students who lived with them or were advisees from the committee.  Maybe we should include those updates in the newsletter (or at lunch)?

Thanks,
