January 10, 2013: Thirty-two Rotarians and guests were
present as the 2012 District 7370 Group Study Exchange Team that went to The
Philippines, visited with the Club. Rotarian and team leader John Kador, of the
Lewisburg Club, introduced team members Nicole P. Quinlanand Stacey Minarsky. John call to action
following the trip is to raise money to provide scholarships for autistic
Philippine children to be a part of the REACH program. Nicole, a pediatric
psychologist at GMC, found her call to action in the Special Education
Classroom of a poor school. Stacey, an X-ray technician at GMC, found a special
project with providing a well, with potable water for children living in
poverty. It is clear that all three had life changing experiences. Marv Rudnitsky was the host.
