Rotary Frienship Exchange is an international exchange program for Rotarians and Rotary couples. It provides participants with the opportunity to experience other cultures by staying in the homes of Rotarians, visiting their clubs and participating in the lifestyle/activities of their communities.

The goals of the exchange are to advance international understanding and peace through visits across borders. To promote intercub relationships, fellowships and service projects. The Rotarians participating gain the opportunity to make long lasting frienships while exploring different areas of the world.  


The photos here were the different presentation held by the team in the different Rotary club visits, including meeting with D5450 Governor Mary Van Hout and PDG Dave and PDG Dean of the RC Madison West-Towne, respectively. The club is home to Governors.
