Saturday morning - first another rehersal

THEN, THE BIG SHOW

Saturday morning the 14 Youth Exchange students, along with 24 Interact students from Broward, Miami-Dade and joined by Interacters from Key West did a musical version of Rotary's "Four Way Test".   In addition to the students the performers got "volunteers" from the audience to help with the show, which ended in a standing ovation from the more than 200 Rotarians in attencance.  This was one of the most enthusiastic shows seen in recent conferences, and it was arranged by Wendy Christopher, Youth Services Chair for District 6990, and a host Mom to Claudi from Germany.  Also helping were Rotexers John Paglione and Roia Taie-Therani.  Congratulations to all for a job well done - here are some scenes!

"For those of you who had the opportunity to see their performance, combined with our Exchange Students, at our own District Conference in Key West last 
weekend, you will want to see more of what our kids can do, and how they go about getting it done. For those of you who missed it ..... too bad. They brought tears to the eyes of the adults in the audience."
