Visiting Rotarians
Mark Flegel joined us to hear our Exchange Student, Anne Sophie's introductory presentation. Mark is also District 5150's Student Exchange chair.
Former HMB Rotarians and now of Nipomo, John and Marcia Traversaro visited us today.
Our featured speaker for today (Sept. 25) was Anne Sophie Cristensen, (she likes to be called Fie) our Rotary Exchange Student from Denmark, was introduced to the club by John Evans. This young lady is a high school senior. She was vivacious and spoke remarkably fluent English. Fluent to the point where she could comprehend a convoluted, Three-part, run on Rotarian question. Fie gave us a quick introduction to the country of Denmark. A country that has 443 islands the largest of which is Greenland. Denmark is known for being the home of Legos, Maersk shipping, the little mermaid, Hans Christian Andersen and of course the Vikings. It is a constitutional monarchy and we were blessed with an opportunity to see a photo of the same.
Rotarians joined the Nick of Time Foundation http://nickoftimefoundation.org/, volunteer medical professionals, Half Moon Bay High School alumni, Cabrillo School District staff, and other local volunteers in screening heart health for over 400 Half Moon Bay High School youth on Friday September 26.
