Story by C. Richard Campbell

Katelyn Pilgrim of Waterford, Ontario told the club about her year in Sardinia, Italy. One of those picturesque,  Mediterranean islands that are featured in travel magazines . With a well designed slide show, we learned about her host families, making friend' and traveling in Europe. The presentation also introduced club members to the food, the remarkable architecture of the urban areas, local customs and events. Like al other exchange students, she returned with a blazer adorned with pins and memorabilia of her Rotary year.
