What is Rotary Friendship Exchange? 
 
Rotary Friendship Exchange lets Rotarians in one part of the world experience life in another country or culture. Through person-to-person connections across national boundaries international understanding and goodwill are advanced.
 
On a Rotary Friendship Exchange you are not just a tourist
 
Rotarians on a Friendship Exchange genuinely experience another culture, broaden their international understanding, foster goodwill, explore their professions in a different context, build long lasting friendships and establish a foundation for peace. All guided by friends in Rotary, Exchange participants take turns hosting and visiting one another, forging friendships that last a lifetime.
 
Exchange participation is open to individual Rotarian members and non-Rotarians, couples, families, or groups. 
 
This year’s Rotary Friendship Exchange (RFE) is with seven Rotarians from Queensland Australia who are beginning their trip landing in Las Vegas Nevada  this Friday Oct 11, and ending in Phoenix, Arizona Oct 25, 2024. These Rotarians have expressed that the primary purpose of their trip is to meet Arizona Rotarians. Therefore, if you wish, please join them. A full schedule of events that are open is below. For those that are at homes or places that need estimates for food, please let the host or the tour coordinator Andrea Shields 909-560-0101 know so they may plan accordingly.
