The District has participated in a Friendship Ezchange with two Districts in England for over 50 years and this was the first time we hosted and visited a different country. The Rotarians hosted us in their homes and brought us to some amazing experiences like a Football game, (soccer for us Americans), the Island of Ven, the small town where Absolute vodka is made, a company that makes packaging like you use for juice boxes that has over 30% of the world market share and many other amazing places.
