1. We have a host family for her first three months beginning August 10, 2016 and need two more.

2. Two more host families for December-February and March-May. They do not have to be Rotarians. It is preferred that they have similar aged females that attend Spartanburg High School, but this is not required.

3. Also, we need to have 2-4 other Rotarians who would be interested in helping:

· For a few days to give the host family time for personal travel or obligations, · With transportation to Exchange activities in the Greenville area · Introduce Inez to fun experiences and activities in and around the Upstate

share information about RYE, coordinate exchange details) Please contact Muffet Chapman as soon as possible to take part in this great opportunity to share with a young ambassador!
