TERRIFIC HOSTS

While on GSE participants are expected to live with host families, this allows us to get to know Rotarians better, have great people to take care of us. More importantly it allows us to be ambassadors for our countries, districts and rotary even into the wee hours of the morning lol.

MEET OUR WONDERFUL ROTARY FAMILIES

 Dr Jim and Nancy Boston

My first host family was Dr Jim and Nancy Boston and their beautiful dog Jake (My first canine friend). They live in the beautiful community of Rivers Edge in Brunswick county. These two beautiful people embody the spirit of Rotary; they were willing to open their homes to GSE members three years in a row. Nancy is an active member of the Shallotte Rotary club and was busy trying to get a water project in El Salvador off the ground, they also volunteer in El Salvador in a medical clinic. What is extra special about this beautiful couple is that they were extremely kind and generous to me making sure I was on time for meetings well fed and comfortable. Thank you Jim and Nancy tell Jake I say hi.
