First Rotary Meeting

I attended my first Rotary meeting in South Africa on 3 February (thats how dates are more commonly written here!). It was a nice experience and I was able to meet the president of my host club (Gavin) and several others who were very friendly and welcoming. The lunch was cottage pie (I thought it was shepherd's pie, but was told that there is a difference between -- one has bigger chunks of meat and the other has ground meat). The speakers for the day were from a youth leadership organization and talked about their experiences and the goals of their organization. There was another international student their, a Rotary exchange student from France. His name is Louis and he will be in Cape Town until June. Following the meeting, one of the members (Graham) drove me to campus so I could finish the registration process. I look forward to presenting at my club next month!
