OUR VERY SPECIAL GRAD!

We're all very proud of Ing Sirikulbordee — our Rotary International Youth Exchange student from Thailand. She graduated from Parkland Secondary School this June, a celebration shared by her family who came across the Pacific to cheer her on, and to meet some of the people who have shared this special year with her.

We all remember Ing's first visit to our club — she knew just a bit of English, but she wasn't shy about using it, and she made a great first impression on our members. When she began to attend some of our meetings in the final months of her stay, it was gratifying to see what changes just a few months had made, and how much she had become part of her temporary community. Ing is truly a model of what the Rotary International Youth Exchange program is all about.

We wish Ing the best of luck in the future — and we're sure whatever path she takes, she will be very successful.
