70. What Next? :
Our visitors from Wisconsin/Minnesota have invited us to reciprocate with a trip to the USA later this year. This promises to be an exciting time for those who can make it. Wisconsin and Minnesota are in close proximity to the Great Lakes and several members live in towns along the Mississipi River.

71. Already several Rotarians from Sunshine Coast clubs are forming a group.
Anyone from our club planning to join this “Fellowship Exchange” should see President Gerald for details.
