What it means for a member of District 7090? This is your Chance for the Insider’s Tour.
Here’s the deal.  You and a group of Rotarians from District 7090 will host a Group from another District whom you will spoil rotten.  Then our group travels to visit them and they get even.

In the course of this, you will make great friends, lasting a lifetime, both here and there.  You will show off the best our international district has to offer and in turn get the (aforementioned) insider’s tour.

The exchange groups are typically 10 – 12 people.  Participants will be either single Rotarians or a Rotarian with their spouse/partner.  This will be an ‘on the go’ vacation so be prepared for 14 days filled with adventure, friendship and new experiences.   

We anticipate that there will be more Rotarians interested than we have spaces available.  Preference will be given to:

1. Those who are willing to host and who can enlist the support of fellow Rotarians to help billet the visitors during a 3-4 day’s stay in your community.

2. We are interested in having participants from across the District so that our visitors can learn about a spectrum of life in various parts of our area.

3. Persons who have hosted previously but have not gone on exchange.

4. Persons with a proven commitment to Rotary service.

The cost is self-paid by the participants.  Your main expense will be airfare plus any admissions, Rotary meetings, bus transport or restaurant meals in the destination District.  You pay the cost of billeting and car transport for your guests during their stay in your area.
