Our speaker today was Asmit Mehta, our outbound Rotary Youth Exchange student from the Oberlin club in District 6600 that we helped sponsor last year. Asmit gave a very informative power point presentation detailing his year in Taiwan. All the members present agreed that this was the finest report we have been given by one of our exchange students. Asmit is to be congratulated, and we are sure he is headed for great things. Thanks also to his father, Manish, who attended in person, and his mother, Radhika Atit, who joined us via Zoom. Also present on Zoom was Mary Aufdenkampe, PDG/RYE chairperson from
District 6600.
We had time for our happy thoughts and the meeting adjourned at 8:34.
