For 8 Rotarians and/or partners – the 7th RFE exchange for District 5960 is now arranged with Rotary District 3520 of Taiwan.  This district is located in Taipei City, Taiwan, the Republic of China.  We have received a “special invitation” to participate in the special Rotary Friendship Exchange program which is linked to the centennial celebration of the Republic of China which was established Oct. 10, 1911.  This District 3520 was invited by the Government to participate by inviting 200 Rotarian/partners to visit Taiwan during the period of July 2011 through March 2012.   Our district was one of 40 districts from around the world invited to send a RFE Team to Taiwan.  This exchange is “special”  as there will only be an Outbound Team sent from our District.

All visiting Rotarians will be assigned to Rotarian host families for home-stay during the duration of their visit.  Member clubs of District 3520 will be assigned to discuss details of providing arrangements during the exchange.

POINTS OF INTEREST:   The centennial celebration activities/events, the National Palace Museum with the world’s largest collection of Chinese historical artifacts,  the beautiful scenery,  the variety of Chinese cuisines,  the intriguing night markets, the old temples and more.   Please visit the website of Taiwan Tourist Bureau:   http://Taiwan.net.tw
