The Romanians Were Here

The Romanian Connection visited our club last week. Alexander was the leader of the Rotary Exchange with Romania. What a fantastic group of people. They had a really good time at our meeting where we were introduced to Romania through the eyes of Alexander. Unfortunately the sound system at Brookside kept cutting out and we could not hear him speak but the pictures were worth a thousand words. From the Carpathian Gardens to learning that Romania has the largest concentration of Brown Bears in Europe everyone was educated on the Republic of Moldavia and Romania. Their Rotary club is only about 17 years old because the former Government did not allow clubs such as Rotary to exist. The Romanians gained their independence in 1990 and have been moving forward ever since. We enjoyed pictures of the Danube Delta, the Bears Cave, and the salt mine health and wellness center located in an old salt mine. Bucharest and the Palace of Parliament were some of the high-lites we were educated on as well as the promotion of Prince Charles(Charles Ottley). In 2000 Rotary International requested that Romania have its own district because up until then they were part of the French district in Paris. Romanians enjoy watching European Football, and baking using Bulg(corn), and raising sheep. They are know for their pottery, art and tourism. If you ever have the chance take part in a Rotary exchange or if you cannot travel take some of our exchange guests in and learn about a new culture. Our next Rotary exchange is to Sweden coming up this August.
