Carissimi Amici,
ad Indianapolis ho avuto contatti con Harris Segel, presidente del
Kiwanis
Club di Fort Myers (Florida) il quale mi ha proposto un programma di
scambio
di studenti con gli U.S.A. che si è concretizzato nella e mal che
allego.
A mio avviso sarebbe opportuno tradurre e pubblicizzare al massimo la
proposta pubblicandola sul sito e dandone comunicazione anche ai vari
organi dei club e ciò nel più breve tempo possibile.
Rimango, quindi, in attesa di conoscere il Vostro parere in merito
affinché
possa rispondere ad Harris con la massima celerità possibile.
Affettuosi saluti.
Piero
