An interesting Rotary program of fellowship is the Rotary Friendship Exchange. This activity originally recommended by the New Horizons Committee in 1981, is intended to encourage Rotarians and spouses to visit with Rotarian families in other parts of the world. It may be conducted on a club-to-club or district-to-district basis.

The idea is for several Rotarian couples to travel to another country on the Rotary Friendship Exchange. Later, the hospitality is reversed when the visit is exchanged. After a successful pilot experiment, the Rotary Friendship Exchange has become a permanent program of Rotary.

The Rotary Friendship Exchange is frequently compared to the Group Study Exchange program of The Rotary Foundation, except that it involves Rotarian couples who personally pay for all expenses of their intercountry experience. Doors of friendship are opened in a way which could not be duplicated except in Rotary.

Rotarians seeking an unusual vacation and fellowship experience should learn more about the Rotary Friendship Exchange. Some unusual Rotary adventures are awaiting you!

It is a wonderful thing to have friends; many good, staunch, and loyal friends. They warm the heart and brighten up life's pathway. Friendship is a culture. And friendship is the marke of refinement of nature. Friendship has manyy ways of expressing itself; politeness, courtesy, affability, geniality, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Rotary is the door to friendship. Let us throw it open to every people. Friendship is a living force, not a mere indulgence, and frequently comes to men unsought when they are working together in a worthwhile cause.
