Our Rotary Club of Riverhead celebrated a Rotary Youth Exchange Day Wednesday, October 18. The lunch meeting saw fine presentations from both our current exchange student and our very first one.
Emma Bodineau (far right) of France is our current exchange student, the only one of our District. Neil Smith (center right) of Australia was our first exchange student. He made his life-changing trip in 1965.
Here they are joined by Dawn Vogel, President, and Riverhead Rotarian Sean Walter.

Emma delighted the group with her background story, current involvements and hopes and interests.
Neil shared a wonderful in-depth story of the months of his youth that he spent in Riverhead.
His experience with Rotary turned out to greatly shape his life.
