Saying Goodbye


This is a photo of the team at the last Rotary club we visited, the Walsall club. It was one of the few lunchtime Rotary clubs we saw. All the clubs in our district meet during lunch, so this was a significant difference between the two countries.

We has a HUGE farewell dinner before we left Friday night. The Rotarians treated us like celebrities! They all clamored around us and took photos as we were getting into our cars to leave. The District chair told us it's generally difficult to find people to attend the farewell rallies and they rarely get 80 people to come. There were 120 tickets to sell and our rally sold out!! It made us feel great to know how much they cared for us because we had certainly fallen in love with them.
