Rotary Youth Exchange for 2020-2021 Rotary Year has been canceled 
District 5790 will not be sending any
students on exchanges at this time nor for
the Rotary year beginning July 1, 2021.  
 
 
We feel that there is still too much uncertainty as to what countries will be accepting students and what requirements they will have.  Not only that, but will the US be issuing visas for any students coming to the USA for an exchange.  Rotary has suspended all Exchange activities until July 1, 2021 and the board will review again in April and June of 2021.   We simply will not know the who, when or where with enough time to properly prepare for any exchanges.   We are regrouping to plan for restarting the program in 2022-23, which means we will begin looking for students in the fall of 2021. 
Denton County's 13 Rotary Clubs organize to End Covid in Denton County

Districts 5790 & 5810 Launch Business and Job Connection

Successful Hybrid Rotary meetings require a lot of planning
Adopting the Hybrid Meeting concept
for Rotary Club meetings requires
considerable planning as we adapt.
 
I've done a lot of investigation of this format for our Rotary Club - there are a LOT of people who are actively attempting to do this. You start off by clarifying exactly what the goals are:

Rotary is steeped in traditions of the past. Some are dusty and ancient yet some have withstood the test of time and should be embraced by every club.
 
Let us honor the old traditions and embrace the new by incorporating these ideas into your meeting plans.

"Think right and you will do right"
In 1931, at the height of the Great Depression,
Herbert J. Taylor was a successful, young senior executive
with the Jewel Tea Company in Chicago, Illinois.
 
Mr Herbert left his great position at Jewal Tea, to take over the then failing Club Aluminum. Herbert Taylor believed that if the people at Club Aluminum could “think right,” they would “do right” and he set out to find a simple guide to “right conduct” as he described, “a sort of ethical yardstick” - something everyone could apply to what they thought, said and did in their relations with others.
