Last night we eventually got to meet up together. The two GSE teams from Districts 1050 and 2481 met up at the Deanwater Hotel in Woodford. It felt wonderful to be together for an evening after following the blog. Rtn Zacharias, Panos and Vasilis presented an illustrated talk to tell us about the RC of Kerkyra, and the towns of Ioannina and Kozani.
Our team reported on our time in D2481. It was an emotional evening for all of us. We have been ambassadors for D1050. This was a privilege and it has been a wonderful journey.
There were 65 people in the audience and representatives from many clubs in our District. We told them how much we had learned from the GSE experience. We are pleased and proud of what we have achieved. The exchange has made our dreams real. We have enjoyed it, we have learned from it, we have been changed by it and we are grateful to Rotarians in both districts for the opportunities which it gave us.
Thank you to everyone in D2481 for making our exchange so special. We will never forget your kindness to us and your hospitality in each club that we visited.
We will tell the Rotarians about our exchange and we will remember our time with you. It has
helped us in our work and it has left us with many happy memories.
We have been asked to visit a number of clubs in our District to tell the Rotarians about our exchange. We wish the team from D2481 good luck in their remaining days here and hope that they will feel as much pleasure from their visit as we have felt from ours.
Goodbye from us all and thank you for everything.
