►RYE Dirtrict Chair Donna Fleshman, came to our Club and reported on the District's Rotary Youth Exchange. She said that because of covid, they have had a virtual program this last year. They have paired off students from different countries for 8 weeks and they meet weekly via Zoom and it has been somewhat successful. RYE will continue virtually for the remainder of 2021 and are prepping to have a full normal inperson exchange of students in 2022.
