The GSE Team Leader interviews were held on Saturday 10/30/04. Our member Jillian Alexander had a great meeting with GSE Committee Chair Helene Pizzini, District Governor Pat Cashin, District Governor Elect Ingo Werk and GSE Committee Member Pete Pettler. The 2004 GSE Team Leader Susan Sanchez was also there. Jillian informs us that the meeting went well. We are happy to announce that on Sunday afternoon Helene called to inform Jillian that she had been selected as Rotary District 5280's 2005 GSE Team Leader. Jillian feels deeply honored. It is Jillian's intention to make this fun for all involved as well as make our District members proud. Congratulations Jillian! |

ROTARY
SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR
STUDY
TOUR TO BERLIN, GERMANY
The Rotary Clubs of District 5280 (Los Angeles area) are seeking applicants
to a Group Study Exchange team that will travel to Berlin, Germany from May
21, 2005 thru June 18, 2005.
Applicants must be non-Rotarian young professionals age 25 - 40 and must
not be related to a Rotarian. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and
residents of Southern California are preferred.
Successful applicants will be personable, articulate, cooperative,
enthusiastic about their vocations and exemplary in their work. Although
some knowledge of the German language will be helpful, it is not required.
Team members must be willing to undertake preparation for the month-long trip
which will include training in the basic German language skills.
A Rotary Group Study Exchange is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain
new perspectives and an enlarged world vision, as well as an understanding of
a nation’s culture, commerce and government. The four team members,
accompanied by a Rotarian team leader, act as ambassadors to the host country.
Rotary International and
District 5280 will pay for all airfare. The
host District 1940 will take care of all lodging, food and local
transportation.
