ATTENTION ROTARIANS IN DISTRICT 7070:   ARE YOU INTRIGUED BY A VISIT TO ITALY? READ ON!

RFE - Rotary Friendship Exchange With District 2110 (Sicily & Malta) and District 7070 - May 28 to June 4, 2023

We are excited to share with the members of 7070 an invitation from District 2110 to participate in a friendship exchange.  We are looking for six pairs of Rotarians who are interested  in making a one-week stay in Sicily. The exchange will take place from May 28 to June 4, 2023 in the picturesque town of Taormina The six Sicilian host couples would return to 7070 in mid-late August for one week......

The friendship exchange would allow Canadian Rotarians to be warmly welcomed with "home hospitality"  in the homes of the host families of Sicilian Rotarians. According to the rules of the R.F.E. participating Rotarians are required to pay for flight tickets to and from Canada / Sicily / Canada at their own expense.  

While in Sicily, accommodations, lunches, dinners, and excursions will be paid by the host families. In some cases however, participation in the District Conference might be covered through a District contribution. The expectation would be that all Rotarians visiting Sicily would then take their turn hosting when the Sicilians visit Canada, covering the same costs and expenses that had been taken care of for them.

If you are interested in participating in this exchange, or helping to organize, we want to hear from you.
