Preparations



Our team met for the first time on January 15, 2009. At that time, May 16 seemed so far away. Now here we are only three days away from departure to Germany!


As we have prepared for our trip over the past four months, we have spent a great deal of time planning our uniforms, presentation, and gifts for our host families, Rotary Clubs, and the Rotary Conference we will be attending. Yet, one of the most beneficial things we have done to prepare for our trip has been the time spent with the GSE Inbound team from Germany. Getting to know Roland, Christian, Daniela, Ulrike, and Ulli has been a great start to our GSE experience. They have provided us with insight on the German culture, language, and areas we will be traveling to. Danke, Freunde! Wir freuen uns, Sie in Deutschland bald zu besuchen! (Thank you, friends! We look forward to visiting you in Germany soon!)
