Jen Scott has finished her Group Study Exchange to Florida and will be Hannans Rotary Club’s guest speaker at the breakfast on Friday, May 11.
In her final email from the United States, Jen said she attended many functions, including the District Conference in Tallahassee.
“Things I will miss from here in America include US peanut butter and associated peanut butter flavoured goodies, meeting some real characters, seeing some great places and Starbucks. However I will be happy to say goodbye to pollen, grits, tipping and living out of a suitcase,” she wrote.

Four Kalgoorlie-Boulder residents have returned from a trip to India during which they contributed towards a worldwide effort to immunise 1.6 million children against the deadly polio virus.
Hannans Rotary Club members Raelene George, Linda and Greg McLerie and Lisa Ellery formed part of a nine-person team from Western Australia which joined with volunteers from India and around the world.
The National Immunisation Day in February was part of PolioPlus, a Rotary program to eradicate polio from the world.
Mrs George, a nurse at Kalgoorlie Hospital, said isolated cases of polio were now found only in the Indian Subcontinent and West Africa.
She said the team stayed with Indian host families in the industrial city of Visakhapatnam on the east coast. Read more »

Jen Scott, who is on a Group Study Exchange in Florida, sent this email:
Panama City was an amazing place. The atmosphere was something that I really had never experienced before. Spring Break 2007 was outrageous.
I can’t even describe how insane it was. The condos that line the beaches were full of 18-20 year olds who had forgotten to take their ADD medication and older college guys acting like they were 14.
ll of the team had a great time. Here’s a link to the photos. I’ll be sending some more from Tallahassee soon. I promise I’m working hard!
