Shanghai GSE Team Visits Evergreen

April 6, 2007 — Evergreen Rotary played host to guests from the Shanghai Rotary Club. It was an international moment of friendship, highlighted by the traditional exchange of club banners. The visit is part of Rotary’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) Program.

The GSE is open to young professionals (ages 25 to 40) who want to expand their world view!   This program provides airfares, lodging, most meals and cultural and vocational experiences for paired teams from different countries. Each team is led by a Rotarian leader and the stay is typically four weeks in length.  Typical GSE teams consist of four people from diverse professions. Single Vocational Teams (SVE) consist of members who share professions or focus on a common topic of interest.

On April 23, Rotarians in Shanghai, China - District 3450 (the District which is along the coast of the East China Sea and the southern banks of the mouth of the Yangtze River) will welcome a Group Study Exchange team from our District 5450.
