Greetings from the GSE Team 2010!
So far we have had a roller coaster of events occur. We went from 1 team leader and an alternate leader, 4 team members and 3 alternates, down to the alternate leader, 3 original team members and the 1 alternate who is now a team member. That may be a bit confusing but just imagine how we felt! We will greatly miss Mike Driebe, our original team leader but we are so HAPPY to have Adrienne Cox lead us in replacement. We are also ecstatic to have Joe Lawrence as our newest member of the team! We wish the best of luck to
Cara, Manny, and Phillip on all of their future endeavors.
Now, on to the good stuff. Our team has spent some time together in getting to know each other and I must say, so far, we work very well together. Adrienne lead her first full meeting last week and MANY things were accomplished. We have forms completed, flight arrangements settled, and uniforms chosen. We would like to thank our separate cities for sponsoring us (Monrovia, Apple Valley, Las Vegas, and Alhambra) because without you, we would have no uniforms, which I might add, are quite fantastic!
As you can see we are quite excited to be heading off to Brazil in April for four weeks. Thus the reason for this blog. We want to keep you all informed throughout our meetings, our actual trip, and the aftermath. We may not be able to keep in touch as often as we would like once we are in Brazil. We felt this would be the best way to keep all of our family, friends, and local rotarians in the loop.
The other team members and myself will be posting once a month for now and once we get to Brazil, hopefully, on a daily basis. I hope you all enjoy this blog and we would like you to know that we greatly appreciate all of your support.
Melhor Considera (Best Regards),
Clarissa Cassara
