Acid Test - Our District Governor


Early this morning we tested out our presentation for the Chicago Rotary Clubs on our very own 1280 District Governor (Shirley Gardiner) and her home club, Bolton Daybreak. After a fab breakfast we delivered the 30 minutes of what we had only just brought together at the eleventh hour 2 nights before.
It went well, except for standing next to radiators that only served to increase the heat on us!

Pretty much everything is boxed off and ready to go. Even Roger's future employers are getting in on the act and sourcing some goodies to take over for our American counterparts!
Good on them!
The countdown continues... It's like Jack Bower in '24'!

Chicago Group Study Exchange (UK2USA)








WE ARE ON COUNTDOWN!
With less than a month to go until we fly out to Chicago O'Hare International the GSE team are getting very excited!

We've all been busy prepping up for this journey of a lifetime.... sorting out our kit, presentations and trying to make sure things run smoothly in our absence.


The bar has been set pretty high thanks to an excellent USA2UK team whom we sincerely hope to see whilst on US turf. Can't wait to catch up with those we have met... Denny, Cynthia, Tara, Andy, Lauralea, and Dennis.


To those we are yet to meet including our families for the first week and weeks to follow and all the Rotarians who have been pulling out the stops to get us places (inc. Bob & Denny)... look forward to your welcome and we hope we can make it a special time for you also.
See you soon!!
