    Dear Rotarians, we – this is the Rotary Club Stuttgart, Germany (District 1830) which has delivered 19% of Outbounds over the last 10 years in our district – have started recruiting Outbounds for 2022/2023. We are very keen to hear whether Scanex will be participating in the programm in 2022/2023. As far as Germany goes Covid vaciations are possible down to the age to 12 years. So we will be able to send double vaccinated pupils. Please do let us know whether we can count on Scanex to participate. Many thanks Alexandra Hartmann (ex YEO for 6y, now president RC Stuttgart)

    1. Alexandra,

      Thank you for this. SCANEX has enjoyed our relationship with the Germany Multi-District and our one-to-one exchange between San Luis Obispo High School (D5240) and D1830. SCANEX is preparing as if exchanges will take place, but are waiting for RI’s guidance.

      Yours in Rotary,

      Warren Bobrow
      Chair, SCANEX
