Students Enjoy Southern Hospitality

They came from all over Utah . . . and from all over the world . . . to enjoy Ken Seefeld’s hamburgers, Dan and Cindy Strobell’s amazing backyard and meet and greet members of St. George Rotary Club.

Stefan Brackmann, a Rotary exchange student from Germany, and Maria Piemonte from Brazil, have lived this year in Sandy. Miriam Ringström, of Sweden, has experienced life in Kaysville. Watchara Anupansawang of Thailand has lived this year and attended school in Springville. Lais Maksoud Cabral traded life in Brazil for a school year in Orem while Carmen Leoni traveled from Italy to go to school in Taylorsville. Felipe Goncalves from Brazil has been a student this year in Holladay and Armadine Michels came all the way from Belgium to shovel snow in Logan. Laurie Simkins and Isaac Puriri, who both studied abroad last year in Italy and Germany joined members of St. George, Murray and Salt Lake City Rotary clubs for this pleasant summer evening!

Rotary youth exchange students must be between the ages of 15 and 18.5 years old when school starts and attending high school with average or above average grades. Exchange students may be, but are not required to be, the children of a Rotary club member.
