The poster features homeless individuals 

displaying handwritten portions of the 

Lord’s Prayer.  The photos display the 

entire prayer.  The posters are $10 each 

and proceeds go to benefit Samaritan’s

House, which provides a place for home-

less people to recuperate after being dis-

charged by a hospital.  Our Club also 

supports Samaritan House.

Group Study Exchange Arriving from Brazil 

>From District 7680 Web Site

Clubs around the district are preparing to host this year's Brazilian Group Study

Exchange (GSE) team from District 4750. 

 

GSE is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early years of their professional lives. The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits between paired districts in different countries. From March 27 to April 6, the five Brazilians and their team leader, Alexandra Estevao, will experience District 7680's institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad,  develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.

 

Visit gse4750-7680.blogspot.com/ to learn more about our distinguished guests, and do something to make them feel at home when they visit your club. For more information about the visit, contact Joni Stanley at 704-846-8018 or 704-904-0388.
