Two district Rotarians – DGN Ken Thompson and District Youth Exchange Officer Elizabeth Van Sant – attended the Winter Conference of the South Central Rotary Youth Exchange (SCRYE) in Tulsa, OK, January 27-29. Elizabeth was accompanied by our four Inbound Youth Exchange students, Mint (Thailand), Karol (Poland), Anoek (Denmark), and Giovana (.Brazil).
The highlights of the conference were the student skits following the Saturday night banquet. The three students from Louisiana (Mint, Giovana, and an exchange student in District 6200) sang Jimmy Davis’ “You Are My Sunshine” to the accompaniment of Fen Swann’s ukulele played by Mint. The students from each country performed a dance or song indigenous to that country. Elizabeth was the master of ceremonies for the skit, as well as the moderator for two breakout sessions.
The focus of the conference, and SCRYE itself, was staying in compliance with the U. S. Department of State via the SCRYE Data System. The next SCRYE conference will be in Houston this summer.
