It was a pleasure to welcome Emily Johnson, daughter and business partner of Rotarian Barry Johnson. She is a new corporate member from Barry Johnson Financial Services, LLC (BJFS). Sadly, the picture was too blurry even for this newsletter... Welcome, Emily!
Thanks to Michelle (Peiffer) Redlinger for inviting Phil Rabinowitz, Engineering Manager at Modine since June. Phil was a Rotarian back in Oklahoma and it is great to have him here in Washington.
Rotary seemed a little cheerier for having Ed Lins' smiling face back at lunch.
Student Youth Exchange
For Brent Hinson's program today, Chris Knapp of the Iowa City AM club told us about the relationships that District 6000 has built around the world with other Rotary Districts that result in positive student youth exchange opportunities. He said that District 6000 has one of the best reputations in the nation.
Knapp also challenged the club to be more vigilant to work toward getting the youth that we have invested so much time and money in programs like scholarships, RYLA, Student Youth Exchange, and others to become Rotarians. He said that around the District and around the country, Rotary clubs have done a poor job of engaging those youth.
