Clinton Sampson Rotary Club
The Clinton Sampson Rotary Club is looking for area professionals to join in the Group Study Exchange Team next spring!  One team of five members and a team leader will travel to Madagascar from April 10, 2009 to May 10, 2009.  Another team will go to Spain (dates not confirmed but expected in late spring).  This is an all expense paid trip (including airfare) in which members will stay with area Rotarian families or possible in hotels.  Participants get a true sense of the area, but it is BUSY because in each town you visit you'll have the opportunity to learn about local industry, healthcare, education, etc.  It is a really great change to interact with our world neighbors.  Thirty days is a long commitment, but if you or an employee can do it, you will have a life changing experience.  Just ask Della King at the Sampson County Extension Service who traveled to South Africa a few years ago! 
If you would like more information or know of someone under the age 40, please email Pat Green at patgreen414@embarqmail.com.
